Abstract: The invention relates to a method (300) for securing an electric rental vehicle when returning/picking up the vehicle at a so-called rental site, said vehicle including at least one sensor for determining at least one state of an element of said vehicle, said method including the following steps: measuring (310, 320) at least one value of at least one parameter by said sensor means, comparing (310, 320) the value of said parameter with at least one predetermined value, and indicating (312, 322, 324) an anomaly if the value is not equal to the predetermined value. The invention also relates to a method for securing an electric rental vehicle when returning/picking up said vehicle, and to a secure vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for securing a traveling electric vehicle offered for rent; said method including the following steps: measuring (206) at least one value of at least one parameter relating to said vehicle, comparing (208) the value of said parameter to at least one predetermined value, and reporting (220) an anomaly, on the basis of the result of the comparison step; wherein the reporting step is initiated by a so-called central site remote from the vehicle. Said invention likewise relates to a system implementing such a method and an automated vehicle rental facility implementing such a method or such a system.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling access to an automated vehicle rental station including at least one rental vehicle parking location, the station being situated within a structure access to which is controlled by a passage control device disposed at at least one entrance/exit of the structure, the passage control device being movable between an open position permitting passage and a closed position prohibiting passage, the method including a permission phase, including the following steps: —acquisition of an identifier of the user by an acquisition device disposed at an entrance/exit of the structure, —transmission of the identifier to a remote server through a communication network, —verification of at least one condition relating to the user to grant or deny passage, and —command of the passage control device, disposed at the entrance/exit of the structure, as a verification of the at least one condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for managing parking spaces in the context of automated rental of vehicles offered for rent at a plurality of so-called rental sites, each of said rental sites including at least one parking space, said method (200) being characterized in that it includes the following steps for at least one rental site: determining (202) a so-called availability data item relating to the existence or non-existence of an available parking space at said rental site, transmitting (212, 218) said availability data item to at least one vehicle being rented, and displaying (220) said availability data item for said at least one vehicle. The invention likewise relates to a system implementing such a method and to a use of such a method and such a system for automated vehicle rental.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for managing vehicles offered for rental in a site, termed the rental site, comprising a plurality of vehicles, said method comprising the following steps: —identification (102) of a user with the aid of at least one identification datum, and —selection (120) of a vehicle from among said plurality of vehicles as a function of at least one predetermined criterion, termed the attribution criterion, and of data (D) relating to each of the vehicles of said plurality. The invention also relates to a method of reserving a vehicle implementing the method of management according to the invention. The invention also relates to a management and reservation system implementing the method according to the invention.
