Using the app or website, renters locate a vehicle that meets their specifications and price expectations. They are not tied to rental stations in fixed locations and can be certain of being given the exact model of car requested. Owners who rent out their vehicle, meanwhile, are able to optimise their car's rate of usage while earning some extra money.

Coinciding with the Berlin launch, the Croove app is now available for Android users. The website has been updated and includes some new functionality such as the ability to upload and manage vehicle information, as well as to manage bookings, via a web browser.

Straightforward access and intuitive user guidance continue to be a priority. Owners create an online profile with the details of their vehicle, including any optional equipment. The person renting out their vehicle can set their own price or Croove can help with this to balance supply and demand.

Vehicles must be in good condition and no more than 15 years old. Renters (minimum age 21, must hold a valid driving licence) simply have to register and then they can contact vehicle owners via the app or website and arrange appointments. It is possible to either collect the vehicle in person or pay extra for a pickup and delivery service. In future, Croove intends to make keyless access possible.
