We expect hosts to provide guests with a clean car. In turn, guests must return the car in the same condition in which they received it or as close to clean as possible. If a guest does not want to accept a car because they find it to be unacceptably dirty, they should not begin their trip. Instead, they should contact Drive mate customer support so we can help them address the issue.
If a host receives a dirty car from a guest, they can charge the guest for cleaning fees.
