8 Ways Silvercar Has Upped The Rental Car Game

Silvercar, a new rental car application, has made getting from the airport to the road easier than ever.

For even the most patient traveler, renting a car can be one of the most confusing, time-consuming, and infuriating experiences ever. With dozens of companies to choose from, hidden fees to anticipate, and the fear of what olds-mobile you may end up with, some travelers would rather just take the bus. Fortunately, Silvercar, a new rental car application, has made getting from the airport to the road easier than ever. Team Jetset Times gave the app a test run on a road trip from San Francisco to Carmel, California. Here are eight ways we think Silvercar has majorly upped the rental car game.

1. No More Olds-Mobile

Silvercar caters to clients who want a nice ride. Every vehicle is an Audi A4, so you feel chic and luxurious for the extent of your getaway.

2. Using The App Is Easy

Instead of filling out mountains of paperwork and signing your soul away on the dotted line, Silvercar keeps things straightforward and brief. Download the app, reserve your car, and when you arrive, a quick scan of the vehicle barcode and you’re good to go. Seriously, that’s it.

3. Free Wifi

No need to waste your data plan while using your phone on the road, Silvercar offers strong Wifi at no additional cost.

4. Helpful Staff

The Silvercar staff cares about making sure you’re comfortable with your Audi before you head out. They get your Bluetooth set up so you can play music from your phone, get the Wifi up and running, and answer any and all questions patiently.

5. Free GPS

Save your phone for bumping a road trip playlist and use Silvercar’s free GPS to get you from point A to point B. Your phone battery will thank you.

6. Great Customer Service

In life, things come up. If you need assistance while on the road, the company staff communicates via text and phone-call to make sure you arrive at your destination safely.

7. The Price Is Right

The rental fee per day is displayed when you reserve your Silvercar, no surprises. You pay only for the gas you use at local pump price, plus a $5 fill up fee. State taxes apply, but hidden charges are not to be found.

8. They’re Expanding

At the moment, Silvercar offers service in Austin & Dallas, San Francisco & Los Angeles and Phoenix. Check out their list of airports on Silvercar.com.
