Reservation Creation
- Select the Explore button on the home screen
- On the Filter Your Search screen you will select a reservation type, a pick-up time and date and drop-off time and date
- Once a time and date have been chosen, choose where to pick up and drop off your vehicle by selecting Locations Nearby
- A map will appear that lists all locations in your area
Note: If there are no available locations in your area, you can search by entering a city or zip code in the search box
- You can select all available locations by clicking the Confirm button in the upper right corner
- If you decide to manually select locations on the map, you will click the Confirm button once you are done
- Now that your location(s) have been selected, you will return to the Filter Your Search screen where you will see your time and dates along with the location(s) selected
- In order to view all of the vehicles that meet your search criteria, select Check Availability
- On the Results screen, you will see a list of Service Groups along with their respective locations
Note: You can make adjustments to your search criteria by selecting the Edit button on the upper right hand side of the screen
Note: Service Groups (and not vehicles) are listed here to ensure proper utilization of your fleet. The system will prevent the same vehicles from being used when there are alternative options. A specific vehicle will be assigned to the reservation at a later time. Don't worry, this time is configurable and can be set in your Reservation Rulesets by the Launch Mobility team.
- Once you’ve selected a vehicle, you will see the Reservation Detail page with all of the reservation details listed
