#### You can take advantage of technology to offer your guests remote access to your vehicle.

## Manufacturer technology

Most newer vehicles have a built-in locking and unlocking mechanism feature installed, helping hosts to offer a remote check-in and checkout. [Mercedes me](https://www.mbusa.com/mercedesme/index), [FordPass](https://www.ford.com/support/category/fordpass/)™, [BlueLink](https://owners.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/resources/blue-link.html), and [Kia Connect](https://owners.kia.com/us/en/about-uvo-link.html) are examples of mobile apps from vehicle manufacturers that allow hosts to set up remote access to their vehicles.

## Radio frequency pouch

A radio frequency (RF) pouch blocks communication between your vehicle and its keys. It lets you store your key in the vehicle while keeping your vehicle safely locked. When a vehicle key isn’t in an RF pouch, the key communicates with your vehicle, making it possible for a thief to copy the signal and access your vehicle. 

Always place your key inside the pouch prior to starting your Turo trips. Plan to hand the pouch to your guest at check-in or place it in a secure lockbox. Order an RF pouch for vehicles from our recommended provider in the [US](https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Faraday-TICONN-Premium-Protector/dp/B07MDF5TX9/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rf+pouch&qid=1585929578&sr=8-2), [Canada](https://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Wisdompro%C2%AE-Blocking-Shielding-Protection/dp/B071KVWTYZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=rf+key+pouch&qid=1591213734&sr=8-3), or the [UK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faraday-Signal-Blocker-Protection-Keyless-Green-Red/dp/B0B55YNVXH/ref=sr_1_6?crid=ORUFFO3F1QWN&keywords=rf+pouch&qid=1687814447&sprefix=rf+pou%2Caps%2C313&sr=8-6)**.**

## Lockbox

Hosts who use a lockbox should be aware of the associated risks. If you must use a lockbox, select one from a highly rated provider and secure the lockbox in an inconspicuous location, not on a vehicle window. Frequently update the lockbox combination and share the combination and unlocking instructions with guests only after you’ve [successfully completed check-in](https://help.turo.com/checking-in-a-guest-H1gsHEg4c). Advise guests to contact you if they have any difficulties with the lockbox. Claims may not be accepted for **hosts in Australia** who fail to follow this guidance. **Customer support is unable to provide lockbox instructions to guests.**
