How can I check the fuel type the rented vehicle uses?
During the pick-up procedure a Beepit representative will inform you on the fuel type your rental vehicle uses. In case the vehicle operates on Diesel fuel, a sticker labeled "Diesel" will be visible on the exterior of the fuel tank
- Tip 1: To ensure the fuel gauge accurately registers the refueling, it is recommended to add a minimum of 10 liters of fuel.
- Tip 2: Always ensure the engine is turned off when refueling the vehicle.
What do I do if I used the wrong fuel type?
In the event that the vehicle is mistakenly refueled with the incorrect type of fuel, do not attempt to start the engine, as this may cause further damage. Please contact our support team immediately. We will arrange the most efficient and cost-effective solution to resolve the issue and help you continue your journey with minimal disruption.
Tip: Before refueling always always double-check that the fuel type is compatible with the vehicle, as indicated on the labels provided on or near the fuel cap.
What if I run out of fuel?
If the rental vehicle runs out of fuel while driving, please take the following steps to ensure your safety and prevent damage to the vehicle:
-
Safely pull over to the side of the road under the safest possible conditions.
-
Turn on the vehicle’s hazard lights (all four indicators).
-
Turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and place the warning triangle at a safe and appropriate distance behind the vehicle.
-
Visit the nearest fuel station to purchase a plastic fuel canister and fill it with at least 5 liters of the correct fuel type, as indicated on the fuel tank cap.
-
Refill the vehicle carefully and attempt to start the engine.
If the vehicle does not start after a few attempts, do not continue trying, as this may lead to engine damage. Instead, contact our support team immediately for further assistance.
Tip: Avoid driving with a low fuel level. As soon as the fuel warning light is activated or the gauge indicates a quarter tank, refuel at the nearest gas station using the correct fuel type.
How do I deactivate the tire pressure indicator?
If the tire pressure warning light appears on the instrument panel or central dashboard display, please check and adjust the tire pressure in accordance with the recommended values. These can be found on the sticker located either on the driver’s side door frame or inside the fuel tank cap.
Direct tire pressure control system
Once the tire pressure has been properly adjusted on all four tires, the warning light and message on the central display will automatically switch off. You can then view the updated pressure readings for each individual tire on the central dashboard display, under the Vehicle Parameters screen or via the trip computer. In some cases, the warning indicator may also turn off automatically after driving for a few minutes.
Indirect tire pressure surveilence / control system:
After adjusting the pressure in all four tires, depending on the vehicle model, reset the tire pressure warning system by either holding the indicator button until you hear an audible signal, or by deactivating the warning through the central dashboard display under the Vehicle Parameters menu.
If you cannot start the vehicle, please follow these steps:
- If you have a mechanical (conventional) key, unlock the steering wheel by gently turning it left and right until the ignition is activated. If you have a Bluetooth key, move the key fob away from any electronic devices (such as a smartphone, iPod, etc.).
- The Bluetooth key must be inside the vehicle, and all doors must be closed. For vehicles with automatic transmission, ensure all doors are closed, press the brake pedal, and set the gear shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral) during ignition. Then, turn the key or press the start button, depending on the vehicle’s equipment.
- For vehicles with robotized transmission, ensure all doors are closed, press and hold the brake pedal, and set the gear shift lever to N (Neutral). Then, turn the key or press the start button, depending on the vehicle's equipment.
- For vehicles with manual transmission, ensure all doors are closed, press and hold the clutch pedal, and shift the gear lever into the neutral position. Then, turn the key or press the start button, depending on the vehicle's equipment.
- If the vehicle engine still does not start after following the steps above, and the instrument panel shows no signs of ignition, it is likely that the vehicle is experiencing a malfunction.
- Check if any message appears on the dashboard or instrument panel.
- Additionally, consider if you may have left the lights, radio, or other electrical devices on, as this could have drained the car's battery, preventing the vehicle from starting.
In this case, please attempt to start the vehicle using jumper cables. For your safety and to prevent potential damage to the vehicle, do not try to start it by pushing it, going downhill, engaging the gear, or using the clutch. These actions could result in significant and costly damage to the vehicle. If you're unable to start the vehicle, please contact our technical support team for assistance.
What if the vehicle is turned on and ready to go, but the mechanical or electrical hand brake cannot be released?
For Vehicles with a Mechanical Handbrake: To release the handbrake more easily, always press and hold the brake pedal while lifting the handbrake slightly and pressing the button. This will reduce resistance and make it easier to release.
For Vehicles with an Electric (Automatic) Handbrake: The handbrake will automatically release when you start the vehicle. However, if your vehicle has a manual transmission, the handbrake will disengage when you shift the gear lever into first gear or reverse, release the clutch, and press the gas pedal. All doors must be closed at this time. Additionally, vehicles from Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda feature an Auto Hold function, which prevents the car from starting if the driver is not wearing their seatbelt.
Tip 1: When parking on a slope, ensure that, in addition to engaging the handbrake, you also shift the gear lever into first gear or reverse (for automatic transmission, set it to P, and for robotized transmission, set it to N), and turn the steering wheel to the side.
Tip 2: If the outside temperature is below zero, avoid applying the handbrake when parking, if possible, to prevent it from freezing and making it difficult to start the vehicle later. For manual transmission, leave the gear lever in first gear; for automatic transmission, set it to P; and for robotized transmission, set it to N (the vehicle will be automatically locked once turned off).
What if the fluid level in the vehicle is below the recommended level?
We strive to ensure that all vehicles are provided with the necessary fluids at optimal levels. However, in very rare instances during the high season, there may be cases where a vehicle signals low fluid levels. In the event of:
MOTOR OIL: Once the warning light comes on, purchase one liter of the correct motor oil at the nearest gas station or specialized store. After turning off the engine, first add half a liter, then wait a few minutes to check the oil level, which should be between the minimum and maximum marks. If the level is still too low, add more oil until it reaches the optimal level. The type of oil required for the rented vehicle can be found inside the engine hood and in the vehicle's document folder.
COOLING FLUID: To prevent engine overheating, as soon as the warning light illuminates, purchase one liter of the appropriate cooling fluid at the nearest gas station or specialized store. To determine the correct type, open the engine hood and check the color of the existing fluid, then purchase a matching one. For safety, ensure the engine has cooled down before opening the coolant reservoir, and open the cap gradually to avoid injury.
AdBlue: Most of our diesel-powered vehicles are equipped with AdBlue fluid to comply with strict European environmental regulations. Under normal conditions, the fluid lasts for 15,000 to 25,000 km, or between two regular maintenance cycles. Since we monitor and adjust the level as needed, it should be very rare for the AdBlue level to run low. However, if the warning light or message appears on your instrument panel or central dashboard screen, please stop at the nearest gas station and purchase at least 10 liters of AdBlue fluid. Fill the tank to the top; depending on the vehicle, you may need to add more than 10 liters. The cap for the AdBlue tank can be found, depending on the vehicle model, either in the compartment under the spare wheel, on the side of the compartment, or near the fuel tank. Please do not ignore this warning, as failure to refill may cause the vehicle’s electronic system to limit further driving, leading to inconvenient situations.
Windshield wiper fluid: In case of low windshield wiper fluid, please purchase it at a gas station, specialized store, or supermarket. Depending on the season, choose summer fluid, which is ideal for removing bugs, or winter fluid to prevent freezing in low temperatures.
NOTE: If you purchase a fluid that was missing from the rented vehicle, please ensure that the invoice is issued in the name of Beepit Single Member P.C., with VAT ID: 800910870. If you do not provide the invoice upon vehicle return, we will not be able to reimburse you for the expense.
What if a certain warning lamp turns on, on the instrument panel/ dashboard or on the central screen of the dashboard?
If the oil level, engine, or overheat warning light turns on, stop the vehicle immediately and contact our support team. If you see a tire pressure warning symbol (!) indicating that a tire has lost air pressure, check to see if the tire is flat.
Tip 1: If the tire is flat, use the spare tire and drive to the nearest tire shop or gas station to repair or replace the damaged tire.
Tip 2: If the flat tire indicator is on but all tires appear fine, visit the nearest gas station to inflate the tires and deactivate the tire pressure warning.

Only use European connectors for any additional devices to prevent potential car malfunctions. If the connector still does not work, please reach out to our technical support team, who will guide you with further solutions.
Tip: Our team is happy to assist you with setting up your additional equipment properly.
What to do in case of a vehicle malfunction on the road that prevents further travel?
In such an event, try to stop the vehicle in the safest possible manner, activate all four hazard lights, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake. Once the vehicle is stopped, exercise caution when exiting the vehicle. If the malfunction occurs in low visibility conditions, leave the vehicle's lights on. Before contacting the support team, please gather the following information: the vehicle’s registration number, the exact location of the breakdown (address, highway kilometer markers, or GPS coordinates), and a description of the issue. If the vehicle cannot be repaired within 24 hours, we will arrange for a replacement vehicle or an alternative solution to continue your journey.
NOTE: The client must wait for the agreed-upon roadside assistance. The Beepit support team will provide timely updates regarding the arrival of assistance and any additional necessary information.
What if the rented vehicle has a different malfunction which does not affect the safety of the vehicle or driving (faulty radio etc.)?
In the event of a faulty exterior light, you may be able to replace it yourself in extreme cases. However, please contact our support team, who will direct you to the nearest service shop, or you can report the issue when returning the vehicle.
NOTE: Never attempt to replace xenon or LED lights yourself to avoid injury or potential damage to the vehicle.

How to correctly install a child seat/booster?
Each child seat and/or booster seat includes an instruction diagram on the back. To ensure a safe and comfortable journey for your youngest passengers, please follow these instructions carefully.
Safety Advice:
1. Always use a child seat or booster that is appropriate for your child's age and size, and ensure they are securely fastened with a seatbelt.
2. We recommend placing the child seat or booster behind the front passenger seat. Adjust the passenger seat to its highest position, fully back, and upright—this is the safest setup for children. If you’re using more than one seat or booster, always place them on the rear seats.
3. If you choose to install a child seat in the front passenger seat, make sure to deactivate the front passenger airbag. The switch is usually located in the glove compartment or on the side of the dashboard. Also, please confirm that this setup is permitted in the country where you're driving.
4. Children under 12 years old should never sit in the front passenger seat.
