Getting started | Guests

Once you create a Resortifi account, you can book a vehicle that’s best for your travel plans. You don’t need your own insurance — Resortifi makes protection plans available to guests.

Create an account

To use Resortifi, first create an account. Then go to your Account page and complete the steps to get approved to drive. You must get verified and approved to drive before you can book a trip. Once you submit your information, it generally takes 24 hours for verification and approval. In some cases, it may take a bit longer if we need additional photos or information. You can check your approval status on your Account page. Early approval makes the booking process easier, but if you prefer, you can wait to get approved when you book your first trip.

Find a vehicle

You’ve been approved to drive; you’re ready to find the perfect vehicle. Choose your location and search for a vehicle; you can adjust the trip dates and times to suit your plans. You can filter by vehicle type, distance included, pick-up/return location, and other options. Read the listing for a complete vehicle description and any guidelines, FAQs, or extra instructions. You can’t message a host before submitting a trip request, but you may find your answer in the listing. If not, book the trip and then message your host. You can always cancel if the information from the host doesn’t suit your needs.
