You just received an email informing you that your application is approved. YAY! You will be happy to hear that insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, and 24/7 customer assistance are all included in the KINTO rates.

How to Book Your First Rental

Open your KINTO Share app and reserve your first car by selecting the reservation type that works for you. 

Custom reservations: Sometimes, you need a car for a specific time. This option allows you the rent a vehicle for as low as 4 hours or up to 28 days. Cars in this fleet are model year 2021 and newer. (Available at participating locations in the DFW area)

Weekly reservations: If you prefer to secure a vehicle weekly, the weekly option is the best solution. You can rent a car for up to 28 days with weekly rentals.

You can reserve your car one week in advance. We have many locations conveniently located in select areas of California and Texas.

Pick up Your Car

With KINTO, you don’t need to visit a pick-up counter or worry about adding another key to your keyring. Our vehicles are located at various lots without an attendant available. We are just a text away if you have questions. Walk up to your reserved car, open your KINTO Share app, click the Check-in button, complete the check-in process, and start your drive. Your app will unlock/lock the car and start your vehicle.

Extend Your Reservation

Extending your reservation is easy and can all be done in the app. All you need to do is click the Edit Reservation button to start the process.

If you want to extend your reservation, we recommend doing so within the first 48 hours of starting your reservation, as this will be the only way to guarantee you can keep your car before we open it for other customers to reserve upon your return.

• Before you return it make sure you have enough time to fuel the car up to FULL fuel level or 150 mile range if it’s an EV.
• Return the vehicle to the same parking lot you picked it up from at any KINTO parking spot
• It’s important to be a great KINTO community member, including cleaning up the inside of the car; please discard anything you and your passengers could have left behind.
