Expedia & Kyte
Updated over a month ago

Welcome Expedia Customers to Kyte!

We're thrilled you've booked your Kyte rental through Expedia. Here's a quick overview of how Kyte works, especially for those new to our service:

What makes Kyte different?

Kyte offers the convenience of a traditional rental car, but without the hassle of visiting a rental counter. Instead, our friendly "Surfers" deliver your car to you and pick it up when you're done.

How does delivery and return work?

How do I manage my trip?

Use the Kyte app (available on iOS or Android) to:

  • Verify your license

  • Change your trip details (dates, address, etc.)

  • Cancel your trip

  • Add additional drivers

You can also check our quick guide: How can I edit my trip? Can I extend or shorten it?

Please be advised that any modifications to your trip that result in a refund (such as cancellations or shortened travel dates) must be processed directly through Expedia.

What is the verification process?

To make your Kyte rental experience seamless, we have a simple verification process you'll need to complete before your trip:

Driver's License Verification:

  1. Download the Kyte App: Available for iOS or Android.

  2. Enter Payment Information: Provide your credit card details, which will be securely stored for additional purchases or incidental charges during your trip.

  3. Upload Your License: Follow the in-app instructions to take clear pictures of the front and back of your driver's license.

  4. Deadline: Complete this step at least 2 hours before your scheduled pickup or delivery time.

  5. More Information:

Does Kyte operate at airports?

Kyte operates without physical rental counters, so airport rentals are a bit different:

  1. Designated Handover Spot: Each airport we serve has a designated off-airport location for car pickup and drop-off.

  2. Transportation to Handover Spot: Kyte may offer transportation to the handover spot in select locations. Check your booking confirmation email for details.

  3. Booking Times: Be sure to schedule your delivery and return with ample time between your flight arrival and departure. Check the airport FAQ page for recommended buffer times.

Here's a list of airports where Kyte operates:

Friendly Reminder: Schedule your Kyte delivery and return with enough buffer time around your flight arrival and departure. Check the FAQ page for your specific airport for recommended timing.
