Keyless entry and app-based access

How cars with remote lock and unlock work during a trip.

Updated October 10, 2026

Some hosts connect their car to Seifly so you can lock and unlock it from your trip page. When a trip includes app-based access, a section on the trip page lists the controls you can use.

Using remote controls

  • Use the controls only during your trip.
  • If a command fails (for example, the car is out of signal in a parking garage), try again, or message your host for another way in.
  • Always lock the car when you leave it. A car left unlocked or running, or with the keys unsecured, is your responsibility if it is damaged or stolen.

Your data

Cars with connected features can record location, speed, and lock status during a trip. See Vehicle and location data.
