Maintaining your car

As a rideshare driver, you are responsible for making sure that your car is kept in top condition, warranty conditions are complied with and that safety checks such as tyre pressure, oil and coolant levels are conducted regularly.

At the appropriate intervals, ORIX will contact you to arrange a service and repair appointment at a dealership approved by ORIX.
