Booking a car is clearer and safer in this update. - Every car now shows its own minimum driver age. Drivers between 21 and the car's minimum can still book with a refundable $1,500 deposit, confirmed before checkout. - Checkout now asks for your driver's license number and date of birth, with instant feedback, and details from your verified profile fill in automatically. - A cleaner checkout: sharper cards, clearer labels, and your card, deposit and total in one place. - Dismissed banners stay dismissed, on every device. - Performance improvements and bug fixes.

Live Activities are here. Your booking now lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: a pickup countdown, your car's photo, your host and their rating, and your pickup and return times at a glance. Tap it to go straight to your booking. New Next Trip widget for your Home Screen. Early pickup. Hosts can now release a car before the scheduled time, so you can check in and start your trip any day early. Your dates, price and deposit stay exactly as booked. Redesigned booking details with a clearer progress header, and a rebuilt message thread with photo and document attachments. Refreshed dashboard with swipeable banners and a Needs Attention list that clears as you handle each item. Plus a faster Browse control on Home, notification and card taps that open the right screen, and fixes to the message composer, trip status and pricing display.
