A little background on Silvercar:
Silvercar is a start-up rental car service available in select markets. They rent only Silver Audi A4's (besides in DEN, they offer Q5's as well)
The service is more personal (and reliable) - see details in my report.
Each car comes equipped with GPS, SiriusXM, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, & Toll Pass.
They also offer a great gas service, for only a $5 surcharge, they refill your car for market rate - no inflated prices or pre-paid BS.
I will start from the beginning:
On February 3rd I made a reservation to pick-up on the 24th am and drop-off 25th pm.
They were running a special $59 per day (instead of $79) plus $50 off first rental of 2 days or more (Promo Code: AFF-FTD).
I received an e-mail on February 23rd - 24 hours prior to my reservation - that my res. was cancelled.
It turned out that you have to complete an online registration to complete the res., which I was unaware of.
Because of the scan and drive service (below), you have to register your license, credit card & insurance prior to your first rental.
After some tweets and messages, I got everything settled and reservation re-instated.
Upon arriving at LAX (previously downloaded the Silvercar app), I opened my app for detailed instruction.
At LAX, I got on the "Lot C" bus, once on the bus, I pressed the "pick me up" button which then prompted to either call or text them that I arrived - I opted for text.
They respond for my location and told me where to meet them (the app says as well).
I got off the bus at the first stop which is the "cellphone waiting lot".
Immediately I spotted the silver Audi waiting with a Silvercar rep.
Diana - the silver car rep - verified my license and credit card, I QR scanned the car and was ready to go in under 2 minutes.
She asked if I needed any car instructions which I declined, and I was on my way.
The car was perfect: clean, car instructions included (which buttons do what) and all ready to roll.
When it is time for returning, I tapped the app and pressed "map it", (or you can use the favorites in the car GPS to direct you to the drop location at the airport).
Upon arriving at the drop location, a rep - Socrates - met me and drove me in the same car to the terminal.
We chatted about Silvercar service (they have 150 cars at LAX expanding to 250).
I opted not to fill the tank prior to dropping off and instead went for their "hassle-free" policy.
Within 30 minutes of getting dropped off, I received my bill:
$118 base rate ($59 daily)
-$50 first timer discount
$16.08 for 4.8 gallons of gas @ $3.35 per gallon (89 fuel)
$5 fuel service charge
$9.79 for taxes
$98.87 total price
Overall loved the service.
@ $79 a day, not sure I would use it personally, but for work, I get reimbursed, so I will use it again.

for a 2 day rental it comes out to a great price considering the type of car, and their service. Shame they are in so few cities..According to an Employee - they will be doing major expansion in the coming months.
First they are increasing current location inventory to maximize revenue per location.

Used them as well and blew my expectations. I did not properly enter a coupon during reservation, they had no problem reimbursing over the phone, even though they had every right to decline.Beat ya ;)

see my email exchange below with GM in Phoenix. They were able to switch cc's for me after the fact and it looks like they may be working on making it available in the future. So I used chase sapphire in the beginning of rental and then when I returned car with no damage used Barclay's world arrival to get charge credited back!Not sure what im missing. Why do u get the charge credited back from the Barclay world arrival?

Pros
- The A4 is a joy to drive. The sport mode gives the car a kick that I could use any day. Its very comfortable to drive as well.
- They dont kill you with fees like the other rental car companies are notorious for. Tolls and gas are all offered at reasonable rates.
- They are very attentive. They offered waster when we arrived and turned on the car (while I worked out the details) so that my fam could not fry in the sun.
- They dont try to give you the hard sell as the standard rental companies would. One car, one color. This is as simple as it gets.
Cons
- They are an off-airport rental company. In the case of MIA, this means that you need to get your luggage, take the MIA mover to the rental center, have them pick you up, go to their location, get your car. I prefer using one of the on airport ones and selecting the car myself using one of the kiosks or similar system to get my car without having to deal with an agent. I find this to be the fastest way to get out of there. With Alamo/National you get to pick you car among the class you are in. Pretty simple.
- When renting at other companies, I have found them to be very "understanding" about small nicks and scratches that you get using their cars. This is NOT the case with Silvercar. They inspected my car with a fine tooth comb. They find every scratch and make a note about it. I saw this happen to me and another person during my return. I did have a serious bumper scratch on the car that I am dealing with Chase Sapphire about. They are pushing me to pay cash and not deal with insurance. It feels to me that since they are a smaller company, they are a bit tough with this kind of stuff. This is a bit annoying to have on your mind when renting a car. I had a small mark from a van that parked next to me in a lot and scratched the door. I've never seen that level of detail get noticed, let alone remarked at the big guys.
All in all, this was a nice experience, but I would not rent from these guys again until they become somewhat more established and recognized. But by then the price will probably be 4 times the amount. :-)

Upon my return at MIA, my flight was at 6:15 am I notified them that I will be there @ 5am when they open and they assured me there will be an agent waiting to take me to the gate. At 5:00 I received a txt that they are waiting and I arrived a min later. The agent took a half a look at the car and we drove off.
While in line to board the plane, my wife noticed she did not have her cell phone and must have left it in the car. I called the number I received the txt from earlier and the agent quickly searched the car and located the phone , he hopped in a car to meet me at the terminal, I ran back to TSA and told an officer there is a guy at the other end with a phone for me, the guy arrived a minute later passed the phone through the X-ray machine and I was back off running to the gate, I was the last to board an empty flight back home.

In Miami, I wasn't sure whether the MIA mover was before/after security so I gave them a call. They came to pick me up at the terminal, even though the instructions do say to get on the mover. Also they gave a very quick walk around when I returned to check for damage. I had a great experience.

Post by: skyguy918 on August 19, 2015, 09:37:14 AM
Here's where it gets interesting. I checked the reservation and I see he switched the promo code I originally put in. The new one gives $100 off - and it appears to work for any rental.
I know the vast majority of you will say post it, but I'm a little uneasy, given that it wasn't his intention to publicize this offer.
Thoughts?

The thing is i think i am a tad to young right under the 22 year mark, my Bday is in Dec.
My question ...does anyone think that they will make a problem? (the reason i am asking is because if you look at the license it looks like i am older due to the fact that i was born in December).
and i fthere should be a problem then does anybody know a way around this issue?

I have a question ...You have to put your drivers license info into your profile. I highly doubt you'll be able to get the rental.

they were rlly accommodating the last time i used them. i called them prior to coming to LAX and said my arrival was past hours and they said no problem and they waited for me til i arrived and picked me up from baggage claim in my Audi. By far my best rental experience in terms of customer service

By far my best rental experience in terms of customer service+1. I was massively delayed on my way to MIA - I ended up getting in close to 2AM. I stayed in touch with them by text and someone stuck around that late - even picked me up at arrivals.

The rental car company Silvercar is offering 1 free day on all rentals of 3+ days. This is a great promotion because it is not limited to first time riders and instead EVERYONE can take advantage! Use promotion code FREEAFTER3 through November 25, 2015 and you’ll see a free day knocked off the price of your rentalRepost

The location in LAX (could be all of them) close at 11 and dont have the ability to drop the car off afterwards! No night drop box... No options at all other than returning the car early and sitting in the airport.
While some of the company's other features and amenities certainly are awesome, this one IMHO is pretty foolish. Every car rental at the airport is either open 24 hours or has the ability to make an after hour drop off. Can't see myself using them again...
Post by: skyguy918 on December 29, 2015, 11:24:19 AM
Dont know if its been posted in the thread here before... But people should be aware.Every single location's hours are 4:30 or 5 to 11 (except NYC, which is 8-8). All of them say the same thing regarding pick-up and dropoff outside those hours, which is that we can't guarantee anything, but contact us and we'll try to accommodate you. Did you contact them? I can only share my personal experience, in which Silvercar went above and beyond.

The 1 time I used them (in MIA), we were initially scheduled to arrive well before 11, but ended up arriving past 1AM. They stayed in contact the whole time, and were able to pick us up when we got there. On the way back I ended up having to cut my trip short and flying out of FLL. But this happened after 11PM, so there was no one to talk to at the MIA office about switching to FLL. The main line was open though, and stayed on it for me. She called back at around 4am (at my request), to confirm that someone would be at FLL to receive the car and drop me off at the airport.

Will be in LA for a week.. can I make a bunch of 1 or 2 day reservations with the diff. promo codes and somehow combine into one big rental, i.e. call them up and ask them to just not have to bring it back and forth to airport?
(sorta like if u have a Hyatt free night and wife's free night u can combine into one stay by asking front desk)
Anyone try doing back to back 2 day rentals to capitalize on the promo code?
can I split my rental and use the free day twice?
or three times?
Think I could make 3 reservations and combine at airport?Any answer?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Silvercar. We do, however, there is a one-way fee of $50 on top of the rental amount. If you wish to proceed, please make the reservation and send us the confirmation number. We will set up the one-way per manager approval.

Clarity on taking out insurance when renting in SilverCar... If I choose "personal coverage" like Dan says to use the CDW that Amex offers, but I am not on my parents insurance, therefore not really covered for liability, I assume I need to purchase liability insurance as SilverCar calls it "other people and their things" for $12.44 a day ??? Is that the correct assumption?What state are you licensed in?

I dont think they offer it but call themDid, they gave me two of them as I request free of charged, it was installed when the car arrived.
All in all I was very impressed, the car showed up on time, I was with my wife and three kids so the driver let me drive off and he found his way back on his own, the whole experinces was seamless, fast and a breeze, I would very much recommend this service.

And what about other car rentals? When I go to final checkout, and I don't select the CDW, does the total price include liability, or will I need to pay that separately at the counter? (Here in Israel, it's usually not included in the price and needs to be paid separately)
Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

I'm deciding between them or A Sixt Mercedes GLA that is $35 cheaper over 4 days.
Post by: gubevo18 on February 03, 2017, 01:18:26 AM
Just curious for anyone that rented from them. What price would you put on the experience of renting from them vs somewhere else?i had the same dilemma but ultimately I chose silvercar.
I'm deciding between them or A Sixt Mercedes GLA that is $35 cheaper over 4 days.
1) because I've never tried it and its always fun to try new things
2) they don't bother you about stupidities. Gas tolls etc. they specifically mention that small scratches on the front and back bumpers don't matter. Whereas by sixt I've read some reviews saying the opposite.
3) no need to hock upgrades. You get a great car with plenty of amenities.
4) you are in and out. No waiting at all at pickup or return.
Post by: gubevo18 on February 03, 2017, 01:22:26 AM
Keep in mind that they aren'tlike the big national rental companies.(well, obviously 🙄).
But seriously meaning if you rent from say PHX and drive to the Grand Canyon and ch"v get a flat you are sort of screwd. This actually happened to someone I know and he had to wait till someone from PHX came to pick him up as his spare went 12 miles into the return trip and they don't allow any other tires.
But not specifically flats. There is no going to the nearest budget and trading in.

Dear *******
I have some exciting news to share – Silvercar has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Audi!
It’s no secret that Silvercar and Audi have a longstanding relationship. Heck, we’ve only ever rented Audi A4s! Now, thanks to your overwhelming loyalty and support this exciting development opens the door to more convenience, more choices and an even better Silvercar experience.
It was all of you who got us here, and together we are changing the way the world hits the road. We wouldn’t dream of continuing the journey without you!
Stay excited!

Silvercar has lost appeal to me. Their prices are not competitive, and the A4 is not an amazing vehicle. For example, their prices in LAX are consistently 30/40 percent higher.yep I only use them when I can stack a bunch of codes and get the car for really cheap.
The best was when I did that in Chicago and then they gave me another 25% back since they said the car was oldish. Ended up getting the car for really nothing.
It is also great to not have to fill up gas and pay regular price.
I was charged $10 a gallon by avis when I was rushing and did not have a chance to fill up

Stupid. Why didn't they add the Q7 for people that want more seats?exactly that would make more sense. There is really no difference between A4 and Q5. Only difference is that the Q5 is uglier

Worth a try, worst that'll happen is that you can cancel if they won't switch it, no?

Book your first trip now and save 20% with the promotion code* FIRST20.
For a limited time, you'll pay less when you drive more. Just use the code WEEKLY30 to save 30% when you book your Audi for 5 days or longer.**

Post by: Jonny on November 09, 2018, 03:37:08 PM
Definitely a bit disappointed that they wouldn't honor it, despite seeing I tried to book on 11/4. I was also disappointed that the code was disabled without any notification from Silvercar or Visa. The rep eventually told me I could use a new code, WEEKLY30, to get the same 30% off, but it's only for rentals 6+ days (which my upcoming trip happens to be), as opposed to VINFINITE which world for 2+ days. Definitely a game changer for me in terms of using Silverware going forward.
I'm gonna guess that they got rid of the code bc too many non Visa holders were using it, but who really knows.

Hey Dan, I also was able to find that code NEXTTIME works for 50% off. One time use per account, though. I used it and my 6 day rental in a Q5 is now billed at around $230. Pretty good deal.
Also, apparently Audi owners get the following: “Enter promo code MYAUDI1 - 1 free day on reservations of 2+ days. Enter promo code MYAUDI2 - 2 free days on reservations of 4+ days”
But supposedly works for all users, but I haven't been able to verify.

I have a two-day reservation for SFO using the 50% off code that Dan posted last month (now dead).
I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to make a one day extension (now Thursday-Sunday) using the app without changing the rate code or pricing structure.
Can’t imagine such would be possible on Avis, Hertz, etc.

Hey Dan, I also was able to find that code NEXTTIME works for 50% off. One time use per account, though. I used it and my 6 day rental in a Q5 is now billed at around $230. Pretty good deal.
Also, apparently Audi owners get the following: “Enter promo code MYAUDI1 - 1 free day on reservations of 2+ days. Enter promo code MYAUDI2 - 2 free days on reservations of 4+ days”
But supposedly works for all users, but I haven't been able to verify.

Did you factor tolls?

At first they claimed CC was an issue, then DL, and then the app didn't allow rental since it was same day booking, and others had higher priority, even though I had a confirmation.... Wasted over an hour, staff wasn't helpful... Had to leave without a vehicle.
Very unimpressive first experience.

I need rental in san diego for 7 days form 3rd week of June. Amex has a Silvercar offer but says expire date of 05/20. This means it won't work for me as my rental is in June? Have to be completed by 05/20th?

Would the 3rd row be a tight fit, if it's only for 1 person?I took the q7 in the summer was definitely not 19 maybe 16 or so I used the 3rd row for cargo [flat ]but dont see why one person shouldn't fit there

I used a promotion code for two days free if you take the rental for four days. Actual check in and check out times were about an hour off than i had booked it for. To my shock I got a receipt for nearly 4x the amount I had gotten the original confirmation for!! I called up and they claimed it was due to not having four full days, while the system had originally given me the discount. For now they said they will try to give me at least one day free, however I never would have booked at that rate. Anyone had any experience with a similar situation?Wow. That's absurd.

I used a promotion code for two days free if you take the rental for four days. Actual check in and check out times were about an hour off than i had booked it for. To my shock I got a receipt for nearly 4x the amount I had gotten the original confirmation for!! I called up and they claimed it was due to not having four full days, while the system had originally given me the discount. For now they said they will try to give me at least one day free, however I never would have booked at that rate. Anyone had any experience with a similar situation?Update:
They have given me back the difference to my original reservation.
I appreciate that they adjusted the price but I do suggest to use the promotion only on full 4 days then having the headache. And always read the final invoice 😊

As per my experience its also ideal to bring it back within the 2 hours of reservation to avoid additional fees as they over charge for those extra hours (full extra day)..

Only on city pickups?I believe this is just a cost cutting measure...they can now park cars wherever. More like car-sharing.

Only on city pickups?Maybe they figure that if you're coming out of an airport you're doomed anyway.

Only on city pickups?Actually cleaarly says "when you rent local"...I guess that was your question.

Had similar experience with reservation returned hour to early and charged inn full agent claimed they are very strict with the Audi codes
Their pricing works You have one hour grace period from the time you need to return after that each hour is considered 1/4 of day till four hours when you are charged for a full day so when returning you must make sure it’s at least four hours later then time in day you picked it up if that’s your fourth/second day

Try asking a agent to match to the original quote..They only gave the one day off instead of two however since theyonly charged for fourth day as half came out to only a bit more then original quote

They only gave the one day off instead of two however since theyonly charged for fourth day as half came out to only a bit more then original quoteI think if u do the 2 day code you should take the car for 5 days not 4 to be safe same with the 1 day code min 3 day not 2 as a precaution
