Methods and systems are provided. One method is for providing access to a vehicle. The method includes sending, by a server, an access code for the vehicle to a portable device. The access code is configured to be transferred by the portable device to the vehicle. Then, receiving, by the server, data from the portable device that is indicative that the portable device is located outside of the vehicle or proximate thereto. Sending, by the server, validation to the vehicle that the access code received by the vehicle was sent to the portable device, and then the vehicle is configured to send an electronic key to the portable device upon receiving the validation. The electronic key is associated with at least one privilege associated with use of the vehicle, and the at least one privilege is defined based on the access code.

The method of claim 1, further comprising, receiving data regarding use of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated in association with the electronic key. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, receiving data regarding use of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated in association with the electronic key, the data regarding use is analyzed against the at least one privilege to identify a violation of the at least one privilege. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising, sending a notification to a user that caused the access code to be transmitted to the portable device, the user being the administrator for the vehicle and the portable device being used for temporary use of the vehicle. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein each one or more of the sending of the access code to the portable device, receiving data from the portable device, and sending the validation is transacted via wireless communication. 6. The method of claim 3, further comprising, sending a warning notification to the portable device, or a display of the vehicle, or both the portable device and the display of the vehicle, the warning notification identifying details regarding the violation. 7. The method of claim 3, further comprising, sending data to one or both of the vehicle and the portable device to notify that the electronic key will become disabled due to the violation. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one privilege is one of a geographic restriction for where the vehicle is allowed to be used, or a speed restriction, or an occupancy restriction, or a time frame of use restriction, or a time expiration of use restriction, or a combination of two or more thereof. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the portable device is identified using information that includes one or more of an email address, a phone number, a text, a message address, a notification, a link, a web address, a social network address, or a combination of two or more thereof. 10. The method of claim 2, wherein receiving data of use of the vehicle includes one or more of a history of where the vehicle has been, or speeds of the vehicle, or events of the vehicle, or violations of multiple conditions of use, or combinations thereof. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic key provides access to at least one of operating functions of the vehicle, or opening the vehicle, or starting the vehicle, or using user interfaces of the vehicle, or turning-off of the vehicle, or combinations thereof. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic key is associated with graphical icons on a screen of the portable device for enabling at least one aspect of use of the vehicle, the at least one of the graphical icons on the screen enabling unlocking of the vehicle, or turning on of the vehicle, or locking the vehicle. 13. A method for providing access to a vehicle, comprising: sending, by a server, an access code for the vehicle to a portable device, the access code configured to be transferred by the portable device to the vehicle; receiving, by the server, data from the portable device that is indicative that the portable device is located outside of the vehicle;sending, by the server, validation to the vehicle that the access code received by the vehicle was sent to the portable device, the vehicle is configured to send an electronic key to the portable device upon receiving the validation;wherein the electronic key is associated with at least one privilege associated with use of the vehicle, the at least one privilege is defined based on the access code;wherein the portable device is one of a smartphone, or a smartwatch, or smart glasses, or a computer, or a digital assistant, or a key fob, and wherein the electronic key, once used via the portable device, the electronic key cannot be used via another device or sent to another device to enable use of the electronic key without revalidation by the server. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein receiving, by the server, data from the portable device that is indicative that the portable device is located outside of the vehicle includes, detecting proximity of the portable device to then trigger a pairing between the portable device and the vehicle. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein triggering of pairing occurs when processing detects that a proximity zone of the vehicle and a proximity zone of the portable device at least partially overlap. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the access code for the vehicle is in response to a request to generate the electronic key for the portable device, the portable device being identified using information that includes one or more of an email address, a phone number, a text, a message address, a notification, a link, a web address, a social network address, or a combination of two or more thereof. 17.
