Safety and Emergency procedures for vehicle use.
Any issues identified during the standard DVIC (Driver Vehicle Inspection Checklist) are flagged. Additionally, all LMR vehicles undergo a separate inspection, with clear instructions provided. Vehicles marked as grounded in the DVIC or inactive during the LMR inspection are not permitted to be used for routes.
First, ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if there are any injuries. Once safety is confirmed, notify the LMR operator and DSP about the incident. Document damages on the booking platform and complete the accident form. Contact police if necessary to determine fault, and call the 24/7 towing service if the vehicle cannot be driven.
DSPs are provided with DKV fuel cards (also known as 'jolly cards') to refuel LMR vehicles, similar to how they refuel regular fleet vehicles. These cards were used during the LMR pilots and remain the standard method for fuelling LMR vehicles. For recharging electric vehicles, instructions are provided on using designated charging stations.
Simply go to the nearest gas station, refuel the vehicle, and use the provided fuel card for payment.
If you're unable to access the vehicle, contact the Field Point of Contact (POC) to investigate the issue and provide a spare key. All LMR vehicle keys have a key tag with the following information: 'LMR Vehicle', 'Plate #: XX-XX-XX', and 'If found, contact eu-lmr-escalations@amazon.com.
If a replacement vehicle is needed, the Field Point of Contact (POC) should be contacted to check availability. The Field POC will work to arrange a replacement vehicle. If none is immediately available, the POC will continue to search for an alternative solution.
Contact the LMR team about the key: amazonlmr@arval.co.uk

Vehicle Rental policies and best practices for DSPs
|
LMR vehicles are available to DSPs as a flexible resource to optimize operations and delivery capacity. DSPs are asked to treat these vehicles with care and adhere to the reservation period, ensuring all DSPs can benefit from the program. Failure to follow the outlined policies may result in loss of access to the LMR vehicles. |
If the vehicle you reserved is not available at the Delivery Station, please speak to the LMR dedicated Point of Contact (POC) or FTE. They will assist you in arranging an alternative vehicle for your use.
Reservation data is closely monitored, and any unfair use of the LMR program may result in losing access to the program. Additionally, any damages incurred during the reservation will be invoiced directly to the DSP.
Invoices for vehicle rentals will be issued on the 15th working day of the following month. For example, a van rented between September 1 and September 30 will be invoiced on October 15. This will cover any vehicle rentals that were closed out from the previous month.
Insurance costs are affected by the frequency of claims and accidents. Each time a claim is filed against an insurance policy, it can potentially lead to an increase in the policyholder's insurance premiums the following year. The more claims and incidents that occur, the higher the insurance provider's overall costs, which they may then pass on to policyholders through higher premiums/deductibles. Maintaining a safe driving record and minimizing claims can help keep insurance costs more manageable over time.
Arval: LMR users are required to report the vehicle's condition at the start and end of the rental period through the Arval Fleet Sharing app. Any damages that occur during the rental period should also be reported via the Arval Fleet Sharing app or the Arval Fleet Sharing booking platform. These practices help maintain transparency and support damage claims. By following these procedures, the LMR operator ensures responsible vehicle usage, preserves quality, and upholds accountability throughout the rental process.
