When it’s time to return your vehicle, ZEVO guides you through a short “Trip End” process. This confirms the car is back where it should be, photos are complete, and billing is wrapped up cleanly.

Here’s what happens step-by-step — and what to know if you get stuck or run out of time.

Step 1: Starting the Trip End

When you tap End Trip in the ZEVO app, you’re starting the post-trip phase.

• Only the driver (not the host) can start this step.
• The vehicle must be close enough to its designated return area.
• The app checks that the vehicle’s GPS and battery data are recent (within 15 minutes).

If all looks good, your booking moves into Post-Trip status and the app asks you to complete return photos.

At this point, you’ll have 3 hours to finish the process before the system takes over automatically.

Step 2: Taking Post-Trip Photos

ZEVO will ask you to take quick post-trip photos of the vehicle’s interior and exterior.

These photos confirm that the car was returned properly and help hosts verify the condition. It is in your best personal interest to take clear photos before and after your booking.

You have 3 hours to complete the post trip process and finish photo uploads once you start.

Step 3: Automatic Timeout (If You Don’t Finish)

If you start ending your trip but never finish (for example, you close the app or lose connection), ZEVO automatically checks the vehicle’s data after 3 hours.
