Answers about searching, booking, insurance, and listing your car on Flipio.
Can I rent as a private individual?
Yes. Flipio connects private hosts and rental companies with renters. Pick your region (South/North), verify once, and book online.
What insurance does a host need?
Hosts must hold valid insurance that covers rental/hire use in their region. Flipio does not provide insurance — hosts are solely responsible.
Why is WhatsApp only visible after payment?
For safety and platform protection, contact details unlock after booking confirmation (and deposit/commission for cash bookings).
How does cash payment work?
You pay a small deposit online. The host pays a 7% commission to see your details. The balance is paid in cash at pickup.
Can private individuals list their car?
Yes. Choose Private or Company at signup. Private hosts need vehicle registration and an insurance policy covering peer-to-peer rental.
