I just tried other locations and apparently only some locations are discounted for rentals that start after 12/22 but are booked today.

BTW, promo code elevate75 still works for $75 off first rental. So I assume it still works for 15% any rental.

Are reservations able to be cancelled? They want my credit card info now, they charge upon booking?

How long after you refer someone and they complete the rental, should you/they receive the $25?

How is that more useful than the other ongoing codes?

Booked a rental for Florida in late april with 15% off using the elevate code. Of course the wife is upset, because she thinks I can get a better rate. Any thoughts on how to get a deeper discount?

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.

Why did this get erased? Is it still working?
