After seeing some posts on DDF about Silvercar, I decided to give them a try on my recent trip to Los Angeles.
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.

I've had great experiences with Silvercar as well

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.
The agent was knowledgeable and there to help.
They are running a special of $39 a day in MIA and PHX till end of may, no coupon needed.

I rented from them in LAX last month, it was pretty good. The only problem I had was that when I entered the lot to return the car I didn't know where to drop that damn vehicle off. I had 50 minutes to my flight, and I am in this HUGE parking lot looking for some other silver cars (they share a lot with Park N Fly)...Until I decided to just drop it off. I texted them the parking space number and ran to the shuttle bus.
I used the $50 off coupon plus I was promised the $25 paypal credit by using dan's referral link, but so far I haven't gotten anything. I will call them next week if I don't get it.

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 car damage switched cc on profile with Barclay's world arrival so that I can redeem for travel! At the location they said my first card will be charged but after escalating matters via email they agreed to charge latter card

switching cards with silver car or redeeming travel expense

Booking an anytime SW ticket, refundable hotel deposit, etc.

The main point of my post was that Silver car will let you switch cards with some effort that is

Apparently you can't make a reservation more than six months out... Anyone have success booking and then changing to a later date?

You decline CDL, it's your choice if you want liability insurance.
Just checked, I entered PERSONAL and wrote the provider, if you want to take liability then select Silvercar and choose what you need
-
Are there any codes for longer rental periods? They don't seem to have weekly rates either, so it seems like it becomes less attractive an option the longer the rental. I'm probably gonna be renting in Miami in August. For 2 or 3 days, it's a no brainer. For a week, not as much. If I absolutely needed a luxury car, it's still a great deal, but I don't.

I just got back from MIA and my first Silvercar experience. I had some damage to the car that kind of complicated my experience. Here is how I would break it down:
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. :-)
-
If you call them they'll pick you up from the airport.

Even in ny?

If you follow the in app instructions, there will be an agent waiting for you with a car when you arrive.
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 MIA everyone has to take the Mover to get to the rentals.

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.

I made a weeklong reservation a while ago. Since it's coming up this week, I decided to try to get silvercar to let me split it up into multiple rentals without having to bring the car in each time (to save by using promo codes each time). That led to an email exchange with someone from the Miami office. He wouldn't answer about allowing multiple rentals without coming in each time, but he offered an extra $50 off, which I accepted.
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?
-
PM?
-
Okay, so I've made up my mind. The code produces a 'Special Case discount'. It only works at MIA, and it'll even net a free one day rental (just pay taxes/fees). However, due to various concerns (real or imagined), I'm going to hold off giving the code out till my rental finishes. If it still works after that, I'll distribute the code via PM. I apologize to anyone who was hoping to use the code before then, but I have to protect my interest first.

I have a question ...
I will be going to miami for a few days and i thought it will be a great time to try silver car.
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?
TIA.

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

You can make a reservation for 11 and then call up and tell them that you are delayed... They are very accommodating (obviously you would need a back up rental)

$75 Off Silver Car rental for new users with code Elevate75, or 15% off for existing customers.
-
How does Silvercar get around the NY State laws governing car-rentals, including, not allowing drivers until age 22 (NY State law requires car rental companies to rent to 18+), requiring the driver to carry an insurance policy (NY State law requires car-rental companies to provide the same amount of liability insurance as any car owner and cannot refuse to rent a car to someone who does not carry a separate policy), and not allowing a spouse to drive unless he/she is age 22+ and present at the time of the rental pick-up (NY State law provides for a spouse to drive the vehicle if he/she is licensed and eighteen+ years of age)?
-
The part that is relevant to me is the insurance requirement. I don't own a car and don't have my own policy. It would seem that under Silvercar's rules, I would not be able to rent a car, but NY State law provides me with the right to rent one.
-

Then you can use on your 2nd rental the free day on a three day rental and on the third rental you can use the $50 off coupon.

Just did silver car in MIA, the guy told me it will be very busy the next little while so reserve it quick.
Also he said they will soon be opening 2 new locations 1 east coast and 1 west, but was not allowed to say where.
-
Also the daily rate is more then 75$ so it's worth it to day one day free, if you do a 2 day rental

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 rental
-
Don't remember, but it depends on how many reservation they have.
69 is prob before taxes anyway

Dont know if its been posted in the thread here before... But people should be aware.
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...

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?

How do I go about liability with Silvercar? I have Reserve card (among many other card options). Can I pay for liability and have CDW on the card? I'm from NY, but I live in Israel, and I don't own a car.
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.

Just curious for anyone that rented from them. What price would you put on the experience of renting from them vs somewhere else?
I'm deciding between them or A Sixt Mercedes GLA that is $35 cheaper over 4 days.

Just curious for anyone that rented from them. What price would you put on the experience of renting from them vs somewhere else?
I'm deciding between them or A Sixt Mercedes GLA that is $35 cheaper over 4 days.
i had the same dilemma but ultimately I chose silvercar.
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.
-
But just a heads up for everyone who plans on renting from them.
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.

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!

Lol beat me to it. Glad to hear, it makes them a better option when traveling with a group.

not really. its not an SUV it just has a bigger trunk. I dont even know by how much as the A4s trunk was pretty big
-
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

Probably price, they are charging enough for a A4, I can't imagine what they would charge for a Q7!

Got an e-mail about the Q5, it also had a code for 40% off of a 5+ day rental - WEEKLY. Only good through 3/31.

Can you use "WEEKLY" together with "FACEBOOK50" or can't combine?

Nice, whats the actual deal to the code? As in is it one day free on a 2 day rental? Or % off?

it says you earned a free day rental when i went to the breakdown charges

Any one day promo codes out there aside from 30% off? Still with taxes its like $70 in vegas vs like 40 from other companies

Doesn't mean it's not cheap, and what car class are you comparing it to from other companies?
Plus get a $25 VGC for first rental when signing up with Dan's link.

I've referred many friends to Silvercar and earned the $25, but for some odd reason, I cant find the referral code in my account anymore. Did anyone else encounter the same issue?
ETA: after a quick chat with them:
I apologize for that inconvenience. With our new website being launched, the Refer a Friend program is temporarily unavailable while we make some changes. If you are trying to get your code to send out to friends or family, if you provide us with the best contact phone #, and confirm your account email address, as well as provide us the names and the emails of any folks you'd like to refer, I will forward them to my supervisor to see about making sure everyone still gets their referral bonuses.

Can I do a one way from Orlando to Miami? Do they charge a fee?
IIRC you can't book that online. I think someone way upthread said that they were able to make a reservation with pickup and drop off in Orlando and then call Silvercar and change the drop off to Miami. Not sure about a fee.
Worth a try, worst that'll happen is that you can cancel if they won't switch it, no?

SilverCar is now SilverCar by Audi
We’re changing our name, but not the awesome service you already know. As our service grows to include more locations, more cars, and better, easier ways to rent a car, we have to grow with it...
-
We’re excited to open our 25th location in downtown San Francisco. Now it’s easier than ever to reserve an Audi A4, A5 cabriolet, or Q5 so you can make memories in the Marin Headlands, or explore Sonoma Valley.
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.**

FYI Silvercar will no longer honor code VINFINITE for rentals booked after 11/8/2018. For the record, I have a CSR and qualify for the code (I know it worked for any and everyone, though.) I found this out pretty abruptly when I tried to modify a booking today that I originally made on 11/4, but due to glitching in the app I just cancelled the res and wanted to just start a new one, only to discover that the code was invalid. When I called to tell them that I was trying to modify a booking from 11/4 (ie before the 11/8 cutoff) they told me they couldn't honor it.
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.

Awesome - just booked at 10-day A4 @35 day! thanks!!!
-
Datapoint:
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.

Anyone ever had issue with first rental?
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.

2 weeks ago I booked a Q5 in Denver 8/18-22 since both it and the A4 were the same price, $100/day. However I just checked the pricing, and the A4 is now $70/day and the Q5 is $90. With the AUDIPBFREEDAY2 the A4 drops to $35/day, $187 with taxes and fees. Throw in Dan's $25 referral code and the $25 Visa gift card, and the total comes $137 for the 4 days. I wonder if the price will continue to drop!!!
The occasion of the trip is RMNP and the other natural wonders in that region, and there is a LOT of driving!
Checking on Priceline, the lowest price for an economy car is $41/day with a projected total of $229.

I’m looking to make a silver car reservation for sukkos time. I’ll be arriving at around 9AM and leaving on a 4PM flight 5 days later. Anyone have any experience with a grace period for number of hours before I’m charged for another day?
I know I can always just do 4 days and hope for the best but I just want to know what I’ll be in for. TIA

Are there any cars not covered by CSR? Would like to book the A5 but the need for insurance would make it a significantly more expensive option.

has anyone driven the q7 recently? is it a current year, 2019 or it's an older version. We're a group of 6 going to LA and was wondering if it makes sense to get the Q7 for the trip. 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 rented from them 3 weeks ago for 4 days and got 2 days free. My experience wasn’t the best but complain with the price I ended up with. About a week before pickup I called in and reserved 2 car seats and the rep confirmed that they were available and I was all set. When I got to baggage claim I txt them I was there and still waited for the shuttle for about 10 minutes. When I got to the lot (since it was my first time renting I had to show my cc and license) there was no one there and waited for someone to get me setup for another 10-15 minutes and then on top of that they said they don’t have any car seats available even though I told them I called it in and it was confirmed. I told them I need 1 for sure for my 1 and half year old and they somehow scooped one up but couldn’t get me the second one for my 4 year old. I let them know this was my first experience with them and was not very impressed to say the least. As I was pulling out the manager came to my window and apologized for my experience and told me he’s giving me 50% off my rental. So after all that I ended up paying $180 for a 4 day rental for a Q7. Not bad.

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)..

Thanks @Joel2 for updated codes
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

I 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

Silvercar closing at DEN
Hi
We are reaching out to let you know that unfortunately, we will be closing our Denver(DEN) airport location on December 6th, 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen a significant slow down in airport business and will be focusing on opening locations at Audi dealerships around the country.
We will be cancelling your current reservation since either your pickup or dropoff date is on 12/7 or later. However, we have recently opened many new locations at Audi dealerships which you can rent from if convenient. While we cannot offer airport transportation to or from the dealership, we would like to extend to you a $50 off promo code BOOKIT to use if you would like to rebook your upcoming trip at a new location.
Again, we apologize for this inconvenience but hope to see you at one of our dealership rental locations soon.
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
Thank you for choosing Silvercar. Safe travels!
Support Team Manager
