Everything you need to know as a DrivewayStay guest.

1

How booking works

Find a listing on the map, tap Book Now, fill in dates and details, and send your request. Your card is held (not charged) while you wait — the full amount is charged the moment your host accepts. If the host declines, the hold is released and you're not charged. Your host shares their exact location once the stay is confirmed.

2

🔒 Your identity and privacy

Every guest uploads a government ID and verification selfie before booking. Your documents are reviewed by our admin team. Your exact location is never shown publicly.

3

The Fatigue Management Rest Authority

Every confirmed booking generates an FMRA document you can show rangers or council officers. It confirms you have a legal right to rest. Available on your dashboard booking card.

Your Merit Score

Your merit score starts at 90. It goes up with great stays and positive reviews. It goes down with incidents or offences. Hosts can see your score before approving a booking.
