How to handle damaged vehicles.
Please make sure your vehicle is damaged before writing into support.
If the power kit displays a red light, the vehicle is still charging. If the light is green, that vehicle is charged and ready for release. A vehicle takes about four to seven hours to fully charge.
When releasing, make sure you are releasing your damaged vehicle in a damage nest; otherwise you will receive an Invalid Nest Error. If you are at the correct nest and still encountering an issue with releasing, or if you want a payment adjustment, please provide us with:
1. A quick explanation of the issue and a screenshot of any error that is stopping you from releasing the vehicle
2. A screenshot of the Release Page with your location (like this: https://goo.gl/j279Sd) and the nest address where you left the vehicle
3. Vehicle IDs (photos or from list)
4. A photo of the same vehicles in the damage nest
If you do not submit all of the documentation above, we cannot offer a manual release or make any payment adjustments.
As a reminder, you won’t receive credit for vehicles that:
• Were not fully charged to an adequate battery percentage of 95%
• Were released with less battery than when it was initially captured (charge tasks only)
