Co-Hosting and Teams

You don't have to run your listings alone. Add co-hosts to help with day-to-day management while you stay the account of record.

What co-hosting is

Co-hosting lets you bring other people onto your Carvia account to help manage your listings — a partner, a family member, an employee, or a fleet manager — without handing over your entire account. You add them, you decide what they can do, and you can adjust or remove their access at any time.

Adding a co-host

1. From your host dashboard, go to your team or co-host settings.

2. Invite a co-host by email or phone number — they'll need their own verified Carvia account.

3. Choose which listing(s) they'll help manage, if you're not giving them access to your whole fleet.

4. Set their permission level (see below).

5. They accept the invite and get access according to what you've granted.

Permission levels you control

You decide exactly what each co-host can and can't do. Common permission areas include:

Calendar management — blocking dates, adjusting availability, updating pricing.
Messaging — communicating with guests before, during, and after a trip.
Trip handoffs — running check-in and check-out for a trip, including the photo documentation steps.

You can grant a co-host all of these, just one or two, or split permissions differently across listings — for example, giving a property manager full access to one car and messaging-only access to another. Adjust or revoke access any time; changes take effect immediately.

Who stays responsible

However much day-to-day work you hand off, you — the primary host — remain the account of record. That means you're the one financially and compliance-responsible for your listings: payouts go to your linked bank account, your earnings plan governs your vehicles, and you're accountable for meeting Carvia's listing standards and eligibility requirements, regardless of who's actually managing the calendar or answering messages day to day. Co-hosts extend your reach; they don't replace your responsibility under the Host Terms.

Common use cases

Fleet hosts. If you're running multiple vehicles, co-hosts (or a small team of them) can split up calendar management, messaging, and trip handoffs across your cars so no single person is the bottleneck.
Hosts who travel. If you're regularly away from where your car is based, a co-host nearby can handle in-person check-ins and check-outs on your behalf while you retain account and payout control.
Family-run listings. Many hosts run listings as a household effort — one person handles pricing and messaging, another handles handoffs. Co-hosting lets everyone work inside one account instead of juggling separate logins or informal arrangements.
