That was one of the filters that I always use. I’m still new at this. Am enjoying it. AND I had one sit who asked me not to use the car when they knew that I was going to see my son while there. I had to rent through Turo. Thus, I had more costs than expected. So, this is not helping with the saving…

Oddly I tried looking at any UK sits (as there are tones of them) with a car on offer. Currently there are 100. Of at least 8 I looked at with this “benefit”, 4 don’t mention using the car at all in the listing as if it doesn’t exist as an amenity? #needslookingat

I don’t list the car as available in the listing details. I figure that since “sitter can use the car” shows as an amenity, it’s not necessary to repeat it.

@idocsteve , thanks and interesting. We are full-time housesitters and are unfamiliar with homeowner screens, and on how interface may vary between website, iOS app, Android app or otherwise. Over last 2-3 years, we’ve seen use-of-car inconsistency on a significant number of listings. No idea how tha…

Yes & no. It would make more sense if the listing mentioned the type of car available, LHD or RHD and the insurance options as this is such a global site. It would also give reassurance when hosts mention train journeys & bus stops but not their “available” car for my brain. #layyourcardsout

Yes, but a LOT of HOs tick that box, so it shows as an Amenity…… But the car isn’t really available. It shouldn’t be necessary to repeat it, as you say. But as a sitter, may I plead with you to do so? Just to reassure us, so we don’t waste our time - and yours.

I am using Android in the US, and there is no option to filter by use of a car on the app

I will modify our listing and add that a stick shift car is available for qualified drivers and we’ve cleared it with our insurance company. That much said, I’d think that a sitter who sees the vehicle listed as an amenity but there’s no further clarification would bring up the subject on their own…

It appears that the filter for Sitter may use car?
