1. Go to the Car Next Door web site, and find my VEHICLE TYPE under SUBURB, VEHICLE TYPE. There is a large selection of cars on the website.

2. Check my car's calendar. If my VEHICLE TYPE is available, please book it through the website or app. You do not need to contact me. You can book it last minutes as well.

3. Once it is time for your booking, you will get a one-time lockbox code from CAR NEXT DOOR fifteen minutes before your booking starts.

Use the one-time lockbox code to open the locked box (Called Fred) NEAR OR ON my VEHICLE TYPE, and grab the key and go! You do not see me or ring me.
