    What if I get a ticket during my reservation?

    You are responsible for legal infractions. If you receive a penalty notice please pay for it by your own means.

    Report it.
    Call us right away on 3955 8965 and let us know that you received a ticket. Whether you've paid it, or decided to appeal it, we want a record of what's happening. We want to know the date and time the violation was issued, the licence plate of the vehicle, the type of violation (speeding, parking, etc), the ticket number and how much it is for. This way if something goes wrong in the payment process, or you encounter glitches, we'll know you've got it covered and we won't just assume you tossed it in the gutter. Note that certain violations may impact insurance coverage, so it's very important to report any violation to Your Car.

If we can, we will redirect the violation to you. If we can't redirect it, we will pay the fine, along with any late fees and bill the total to your account. Other fines or membership suspension can also result, so please pay the ticket when you get it.

    Can I dispute it?
    ? If you wish to contest a violation, be sure to do so promptly! If we receive a notice in the mail, and you have yet to dispute the ticket with the relevant authorities, we will automatically bill your account for the amount of the violation, plus the processing fee.

    What if I'm involved in an accident?

    Take a deep breath and follow these steps:

    1. Call the emergency services if there are any injuries.
    2. Then call us on 3955 8965 to tell us there's been an accident.
    3. Collect the following information:
      • If someone was injured, note whether the individual was taken from the scene in an ambulance, and find out which hospital they were taken to.
      • Record when (date and time) and where the incident happened.
      • Get the contact details for all parties involved, including the driver's name (and vehicle owner, if different from the driver), phone number, address, Hong Kong ID card number, insurance company and policy number, vehicle registration plate number and vehicle identification number (VIN).
      • If there was damage to an object (fence, sign, post, etc), get the contact information of the owner.
    4. Protect your version of the incident:
      • Take pictures of all damage, the scene of the accident and any documents you obtain from other parties involved in the accident. This is very important for any insurance claim that might be filed.
      • Get independent witnesses. Your passengers, family and friends do not count as independent witnesses. If any other bystanders witnessed the incident, ask for their contact details and get them to write down what they saw.
      • Take note if any party apologises or accepts responsibility for the incident. If possible, get it in writing and notify us of this information. You can even call us on 3955 8965 and put the other party on the phone with us. DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, call us and we will have offer you advise after conversing with our insurance company or legal advisors.
    5. Once you're back home safe and sound, we'll need some documentation about the incident. See details.
    6. If you have completed steps 1-5, then go do something nice for yourself. After all, you did everything you could just the way we needed you to.

    Unfortunately your membership will be suspended until we obtain all of the details about the accident. For insurance purposes, we have to complete a thorough investigation, but you will be notified as soon as your account is reinstated. This process usually takes about two weeks. You can always call us on 3955 8965 if you have any questions.

    Who pays for fuel?

    We do! You just need to fill the tank using the fuel cards inside the car when it gets to 1/4 full. The Your Car fuel policy is that all members must return vehicles with at least ¼ tank of fuel to ensure that everyone can get off to a quick start without incident.

    How do I put fuel in the vehicle?

    Fuel is on us! You'll find the fuel cards inside the manual located in the glove compartment. Always have the station attendant check the inside of the fuel cap to ensure they add the correct fuel type — mistakes can be expensive!

    We provide fuel cards which are accepted at all Shell and Sinopec fuel stations. You can go to any of these fuel stations and have the cars refueled on us!

    Please note that you are NOT permitted to refuel at the two Shell fuel station located near the Hong Kong International Airport due to extra charges levied by the fuel company at these locations. If you refuel at these stations, we will charge you at $3/litre of fuel bought.

    Address of Shell HKIA fuel stations:
    Shell Airport Passenger Terminal Fuel Station: 6 Cheong King Road, Chek Lap Kok, Lantau
    Shell Airport Cargo Terminal Fuel Station: 20 Chun Wan Road, Chek Lap Kok, Lantau

    Should you require fuel in the vicinity of the Hong Kong International Airport, please head to the Sinopec fuel station in Tung Chung at the following address: 23-25 Hei Tung Street, Tung Chung New Town, Lantau

    For the most up to date list of Shell and Sinopec fuel stations, please refer to the links below:

    Shell: www.shell.com.hk >
    Sinopec: www.sinopechk.com >

    What if the fuel card isn't accepted?

    While we try our hardest to ensure you receive a trouble free experience with our service, fuel cards can malfunction from time to time. Should that happen please try and use the other fuel card and if that also malfunctions or is missing, please pay for the fuel and send us the receipt afterwards and we will reimburse you for any costs.

    Where do I return the Your Car when I am done?

    Return the Your Car vehicle to its home location.
    Need a reminder of the car's home location? Directions are available on your reservation confirmation and on the mobile apps.

    What if the Your Car space is taken or blocked?

    Call us on 3955 8965 and we'll work with you to find a nearby parking space. If there's another car in the Your Car spot, please take a photo if you can and make a note of the make, model, and number plate of the unfortunate offender so that we can have them towed away.

    How do I end my reservation?

    Please remember to take all your belongings, remove any rubbish, and leave at least 1/4 tank of fuel for the next member. Return the keys to the glove compartment and lock up with smartphone app.

    Do I get credit for returning the car early?

    No. While the vehicle is reserved in your name, no other member can reserve it during that time, so we do not offer credit for an early return.

    What happens if I return the car late?

    If you return your car late, you will be charged late fees starting at $1000. Timely returns are really important in the world of car sharing. If someone returns a car late, then the next member can't start their reservation on time. We’ll have to find them another car, and sometimes we'll even have to put them in a taxi to get to it. So you can see why we need to have late fees. We're not trying to be mean, we're just trying to make sure that members get their cars when they need them.

    Here are a few tips to help avoid late return fees:

    • When you reserve your car, make sure you allow enough time for your entire trip. Think about travel time (there and back) and the amount of time you'll spend at your destination. Book a little extra time if you're not sure.
    • Leave your destination on time. If it took you an hour to get there, most likely it's going to take you an hour to get back. Allow some cushion for traffic delays too.
    • • If at any time during your reservation you realise that you won't be able to get the vehicle back on time, you can always try to extend your reservation from your smartphone. If there's not another reservation immediately after yours, you can extend. If someone is waiting for the car, we will need to make other arrangements for them, so please call us as soon as you can.
    What happens if I return the car dirty or with low fuel?

    You are responsible for returning the car with at least 1/4 tank of fuel and in good condition for the next member. Not following these rules could result in additional charges.
