- receiving, at one or more processors, an indication that a driver has agreed to terms for renting a vehicle from an owner of the vehicle, wherein the terms include potential application of penalties or incentives to the driver based on driving behavior;
receiving, at the one or more processors, telematics data collected over a period of time, wherein the telematics data is indicative of operation of the rented vehicle by the driver during the period of time;
identifying, by the one or more processors analyzing the telematics data, one or more driving behaviors of the driver during the period of time;
identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more characteristics of the rented vehicle; and

By analyzing the telematics data, one or more driving behaviors of the driver during the time period is/are identified. One or more characteristics of the rented vehicle are also determined. One or more penalties or incentives are caused to be applied to the driver, based on the driving behavior(s) and the one or more characteristics of the rented vehicle.
