To ensure that a test drive that is marked as 'Accompanied' is verified, drivible enables location tracking through your mobile device browser*. By tracking the location of the device, our application determines whether the device and hence the test drive has travelled more than 1Km.
If device location is not enabled, or if the 'Track Test Drive' button isn't pressed, or if the test drive doesn't travel longer than 1Km, then the test drive is reclassified as 'Unaccompanied'.
For Accompanied Test Drives Only.
