CarShake Pricing Questions

Drivers should be able to understand the cost of a vehicle-condition tool before trusting it at a handoff. This page collects the questions people ask about free use, paid options, and whether a documented walkaround is worth the effort.

What you can do before paying anything

CarShake's free workflow is built around the basic task that matters at a handoff: create a before-and-after record of the car's condition. A useful record is not a promise that a claim will be accepted. It is a set of organized evidence that can make a conversation with a valet, rental desk, garage, or insurer more concrete.

Take the same broad photos at pickup and return, include close-ups of existing marks, and preserve the sequence. That routine is useful regardless of the vehicle's age, value, or insurance provider.

Choose based on your handoffs

If you only need an occasional record for valet parking or a rental return, start with the free workflow and see whether it fits your routine. If you manage repeated handoffs, compare the available options on the pricing page. You can also review the step-by-step walkthrough before creating your first record.

Before upgrading, consider the number of handoffs you make, the type of vehicle, and whether a shared record would simplify your existing process. The appropriate option should be clear before any purchase.
