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
+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.

I had a similar situation, support said no, I reached out directly to branch and they said yes 100%
For reference, it was at Denver.

Not sure. Having trouble with the website, first it tells me minimum 2-day rental, then it says coupon applied for free day even on a one day rental...

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.

Ask them or file a complaint with your state's AG if you feel they're not compliant with the law?

Called them and the rep, of course, had no idea what I was talking about.   I emailed them and am awaiting a reply (that probably will not come...)   AG's office is next.
