After registering, you can book a car in the app. From the map view, start your booking by selecting a car on the map. Choose your desired time and, if you wish, reduce the deductible. Then confirm your booking.

2. Starting your booking

When your booking begins, you can activate it from the Bookings tab in the app. Go to the car and activate the booking. The system will ask you to check the condition of the car. Perform the inspection and confirm the condition. If you find any damages, you can report them directly in the system. Once the booking is activated, the doors can be unlocked with the app. During your booking, you can use the car’s own keys, which are located in the glove compartment.

3. Ending your booking

Park the car in the university's parking lot with the park pass. You can view the area in the Omago app. End the booking, and the doors will lock automatically when the booking is closed. Leave the key in the glove compartment.
