I hope they have a very good screening process... the fact that you have the key at some point means > go to locksmith and make duplicate > steal things from it a month later after a few others have rented it

I would prefer personally approving people who want to rent my car...

"the fact that you have the key at some point"

I speculated about this in another post. Perhaps the CarKit thingy acts as a remote starter, so the renter never has the physical key?

Yeah, you can approve each renter personally if you prefer.
