When evaluating whether or not you should allow someone to rent a vehicle from your platform, it’s important to understand what risks may be associated with that potential driver and ensure they have a valid license. Checkr Trust offers motor vehicle reports (MVRs) to help you uncover the detailed information you need in one’s driving history, easily and cost-effectively.
The Cost of Motor Vehicle Report Searches
- Each state imposes a “per-search” fee for obtaining a motor vehicle record
- When you partner with us for driving history searches, we add a low fee to help you navigate the DMV complexities
