What vehicle biohazard cleanup covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew looks over the interior for sharp objects, hidden pooling and personal belongings.
Crews check how far fluid travelled into foam, carpet, door cavities and the floor pan, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Fluids are lifted from every surface they reached. Soaked items are removed and the remaining surfaces are sanitized.
Lingering smells are treated, the waste is hauled away, and a last inspection confirms the vehicle is ready.

A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B and HIV. Dried blood can still be hazardous, and enclosed cabins hold odor. That is why the area is cleaned with protection and disinfected.
Yes, in most cases. Hard surfaces and many seats can be cleaned and disinfected. Foam, carpet and padding that soaked through are usually removed, because blood and odor stay in them.
People use both phrases. Most of the time they mean decontaminating a vehicle that holds blood or other body fluids. Chemical spills are a separate hazard, and a cleanup team can say whether it can handle a specific one.
Ask who can release it before cleanup starts. Cleaners can usually begin once the vehicle is released to the owner or an authorized person. Ask the cleanup company about timing once the vehicle is released.
It depends on the vehicle, the amount of contamination and how much has to be removed. A single stained seat is a shorter job than a cabin with fluids on many surfaces. Odor treatment can add time.
