Here’s Everything You Need Before You List Your Car

Since EMIs, maintenance, insurance, petrol, and parking all add up, your automobile is most likely costing you more than it should if it is idle more often than it is being driven. What if your car could begin to pay you back instead of draining your wallet?

With Bharat Car’s Host Program, that’s exactly what you can do. But before you start earning, here are a few things you’ll need to have in place.

1.  A Car in Good Condition

Let’s start with the basics — your car needs to be in great shape. Bharat Car accepts hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, and even premium models, but they must meet a few key criteria:

  • Model year 2018 or newer
    • Valid insurance
    • Driving License
    • Pollution under control (PUC) certificate and all registration documents up to date
    • The better your car looks and performs, the more likely it is to be booked frequently — and to receive positive reviews from customers.

2.  A Smartphone and the Bharat Car App

You’ll manage everything through the Bharat Car app, so having a working smartphone with a reliable internet connection is essential.

From listing your car and setting availability to tracking earnings and receiving booking notifications — everything is done in-app, without the need for calls or paperwork.

3.  GPS Tracking Setup

For safety, every car on Bharat Car’s platform must have GPS tracking enabled. This allows both you and Bharat Car to monitor your vehicle during trips in real time.

If your car doesn’t already have GPS, Bharat Car can help arrange installation. It’s a quick setup and adds an extra layer of security — giving both hosts and customers peace of mind.

4.  A Mindset for Long-Term Gains

In the long run, becoming a Bharat Car Host can be a dependable source of additional income; it’s not only about getting money now.

The majority of hosts make between ₹20,000 and ₹60,000 a month for each car, depending on demand, city, and type of automobile. Some turn it into a side company with several cars, while others use it to pay for upkeep or EMIs.

It is entirely up to you how far you go, but even one car can have a significant financial impact.

5.  Full Control and Flexibility

With Bharat Car, you’re always in charge of your vehicle — nothing happens without your say.

  • Set your own schedule — you decide when your car is available for bookings.
  • Choose your pickup location — keep it convenient for you and accessible for customers.
  • Block out dates anytime — going on a trip or need your car for personal use? Just mark it unavailable.
  • No minimum commitment — whether you want to host once a week or every day, it’s completely up to you.

And here’s something hosts really appreciate:

If you need to pause your car temporarily, you can do that anytime directly from the app — without worrying about your ratings or reviews being affected.

You also have the option to offer home delivery of your vehicle for an extra fee, which can boost your bookings and improve customer satisfaction.

Hosting on Bharat Car is designed to be flexible, so your car fits into your lifestyle — not the other way around.

Last Verification: Safety and Quality Come First

Bharat Car will perform a brief quality and safety check on your vehicle before it is made available on the platform. This makes it possible to guarantee that every car on the list satisfies the requirements for the ideal client experience.

Before your automobile is authorised for listing, you will need to get any problems repaired, such as a worn-out brake pad or missing paperwork.
