How to share your car

Sharing your car on Custodian lets other people explore its profile and the information you choose to share. You can use Link & QR sharing for easy, open access, secure sharing for access you give to specific people, or export a PDF brochure of your car to send or print.


Share a car or your garage


Link & QR sharing and secure sharing both work for a single car or an entire garage. Open Share your car from an individual car, or Share your garage from your garage. Each offers Link & QR sharing and secure sharing.


The link and secure sharing guides below use a car as the example. For a garage, start from Share your garage and choose the same sharing method.



Choose Link & QR sharing when you want a simple way to show your car to friends, share it online or display a QR sticker at an event.


  • People open your car using a link or by scanning its QR code.
  • No Custodian account is required to view it.
  • Anyone with the link or QR code can open the shared view.
  • You can preview the shared view, copy the link, download the QR code or customise a QR sticker.


Link & QR sharing offers open access with no account required

Share your car securely


Choose Share your car securely when you want to control who has access and which details are included. For example, you might share with a potential buyer, a specialist or someone helping you care for your car.


  • Find and invite a person using their email address.
  • People without a Custodian account can join and accept an invitation.
  • Choose Full or Custom permissions, including available options for photos, history file attachments and costs.
  • Review the share summary and manage your shares from Active shares.

Share an exported PDF brochure


You can also export a PDF brochure of your car and send the file to someone, or print a copy. This is useful when you want a document to email, share via WhatsApp or keep with the car’s history file.


Open your car from Garage, select the three-dot menu (…) at the top right of its profile, then choose Export PDF. You will receive an email with a link to download the brochure.


The PDF is a snapshot of the information at the time of export. Check its contents before sharing, and export a new copy if you want to include later updates.

Which option should I use?


Use a link or QR code if convenience matters most and you are happy for anyone who receives it to open the shared view.


Use secure sharing if you want to invite particular people and decide which information to include.


Use a PDF brochure if you want a downloadable document to send or print.


Link sharing and secure sharing are available in Share your car and Share your garage. They can be active at the same time. If you want access to be limited to invited people, switch off Link & QR sharing as well.
