Hosting on Levy
How hosting your car on Levy works.
From the first draft to your first payout, here is what hosting on Levy looks like. You can do the first steps today. Everything after "submit for review" happens once the marketplace launches in your area.
You can do this today
Set up your listing before launch.
These steps are open now. A finished listing waits in review and goes live when the marketplace launches in your area.
- 1
Create your account and a draft listing
"Start your listing" creates a Levy account and walks you through the car: year, make, model, photos, where it parks, and a short description. Drafts save as you go. You don't need to sign an agreement or add payout details to save a draft.
- 2
Set availability and a daily price
Mark the days the car is free and set a daily price. Both are yours to change at any time, so you can open up a long weekend or block a week when you need the car.
- 3
Submit your listing for review
A listing needs photos, a description, a daily price, and a pickup location before you can submit it. Levy reviews listings before they go live. Reviewed listings go live when the marketplace launches in your area.
Once bookings open
What a trip looks like from your side.
Bookings are not open yet. When they are, this is how a trip runs, from the request to your payout.
- 4
Connect the car for keyless handoff
Before your first trip, connect the car's connected-car service so drivers can unlock it with their phone. If your car doesn't have one, say so in your listing and we will email you about handoff options before launch.
- 5
Choose a protection plan for the car
Pick a protection plan for each car: keep 70% of the trip price with $250 of damage responsibility per claim, 80% with $1,500, or 90% with $2,750. The plan applies to trips booked while it is selected. Above your damage responsibility, Levy reimburses eligible physical damage to the car during a trip.
- 6
Accept booking requests
After launch, drivers request specific dates. You see each request, with your exact earnings for the trip, and accept the ones that fit. Messages go through Levy, so you never have to share your personal phone number.
- 7
The driver picks up without you
Before the car unlocks, the driver has shown they are 21 or older, verified their identity and driver's license, passed a driving-record check, and signed the trip agreement. During the trip window they photograph the car, odometer, and fuel level, then unlock it with their phone.
- 8
The driver returns the car
The driver parks at the agreed spot, takes return photos, and locks the car from their phone. The unlock link stops working once the trip is over.
- 9
Tolls and trip charges are settled
Levy matches tolls to the trip and bills the driver. Under the trip agreement, tickets and other charges from the trip are the driver's responsibility.
- 10
You get paid
Levy initiates your payout within 3 business days after the trip ends, to your bank account through Stripe. You add payout details before your first trip, and you saw your exact earnings for the trip before you accepted it.
Before your first trip
Get the car ready for guests.
None of this is required to save a draft. All of it makes the first trip go more smoothly.
Keep a backup key plan
Connected-car services depend on cell signal and the automaker's servers. Decide how a driver would get in if a phone unlock fails, and keep your spare key somewhere safe.
Photograph the car yourself
Good listing photos help drivers choose your car. Your own photos of the car's current condition give you a baseline before the first trip.
Think through parking
Choose a pickup spot a driver can find and legally park in at return. In the city, a garage spot or a clearly described block helps. Put the details in the listing.
Clean it like a guest is coming
Drivers notice a clean car. Plan how you will clean the car between trips, especially when trips run back to back.
Know your own policy
Levy's host protection applies during Levy trips. Ask your insurer how your personal auto policy covers the car the rest of the time, and whether sharing it changes anything. If the car is leased or financed, check that agreement too.

FAQ
Questions about hosting.
The practical details of listing, handoff, payouts, and trip charges.
What do I need to set up a listing?
An account and your car's details: year, make, and model, photos, where the car is parked for pickup, a short description, and a daily price. Drafts save as you go. You do not need to sign an agreement or add payout details to save a draft. To submit a listing for review, add at least 3 photos, a description, a daily price, and a pickup location.
What does keyless handoff mean?
Many recent cars can lock and unlock through the automaker's connected-car service. Levy connects to that service so a driver's phone can unlock your car during their trip, using a link that works only during the booked trip window. You do not meet the driver, leave a key in a lockbox, or share a door code. It is the same technology behind Levy Guestpass.
Who sets the price and the schedule?
You do. You choose the days the car is available, set the daily price, and can change either at any time. Drivers send booking requests for specific dates, and you decide which requests to accept.
How much of each trip do hosts keep?
70%, 80%, or 90% of the trip price, depending on the protection plan you choose for the car. The driver pays your price plus tax. Levy adds no trip fees, service fees, markups, or protection charges on top. Levy's commission comes out of your price instead of being added to what the driver pays. You see your exact earnings before you accept a trip, and Levy covers card processing. For comparison, Turo's help center lists three US host earnings plans that pay hosts 70%, 80%, or 90% of the trip price.
What protection is there for hosts and drivers?
Hosts: Pick a protection plan for each car: keep 70% of the trip price with $250 of damage responsibility per claim, 80% with $1,500, or 90% with $2,750. The plan applies to trips booked while it is selected. Above your damage responsibility, Levy reimburses eligible physical damage to your car during a trip: the repair cost, or the car's actual cash value up to $200,000 if it is a total loss. This is Levy's contractual protection, not insurance. It does not cover normal wear and tear, mechanical failure, diminished value, or lost hosting income. Drivers: you don't buy a protection plan, and there is no deposit. New York law limits what a driver can owe for damage to a shared car: at most the lesser of the actual, reasonable repair cost or the car's fair market value before the damage. No loss-of-use or administrative fees, and normal wear and tear is excluded.
New York General Business Law § 913: driver damage limits and the deposit ban
How do hosts get paid?
Levy initiates your payout within 3 business days after the trip ends, to your bank account through Stripe. Stripe is the payment processor Levy uses. You add payout details before your first trip, not before your first draft.
Who pays parking and camera tickets from a trip?
In New York City, red light and other camera tickets are mailed to the vehicle's registered owner, no matter who was driving. Levy's trip agreement makes the driver responsible for tickets and other trip-related charges incurred during their trip.
Should I check for safety recalls before sharing my car?
Yes. Look up your car's VIN on the NHTSA recall site and have any open safety recall repaired before you share the car.

Leased or financed car?
If your vehicle is leased or financed, you may need more insurance. If your vehicle is subject to a lease or loan, you may need additional insurance coverage, including motor vehicle physical damage coverage (collision and comprehensive), to share it through Levy. Check your lease or loan agreement and ask your insurer. For insurance questions, contact the New York State Department of Financial Services: (800) 342-3736, www.dfs.ny.gov.
NOTICE: New York State Law prohibits the following practices by peer-to-peer car sharing program administrators based upon race, color, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, marital status, residence or geographic location, income, sexual orientation, genetic predisposition or age: (1) refusal to allow participation in a peer-to-peer car sharing program; and (2) the imposition of any additional charge (except in certain instances where the shared vehicle driver is under the age of 25). In addition, it is unlawful for any peer-to-peer car sharing program administrator to refuse to allow participation in the program to any person solely on the requirement of ownership of a credit card.
