Ratings and reviews

I stopped being a member 3ish years ago and decided to re-up today. I've had my account approved and I booked a car for a couple of days from now and installed the app - which doesn't seem to work at all. All I get is the Go to drive screen, and anything I click takes me back to that screen! I hope my old card will still work, because this app doesn't seem to! update 1: Force closed app and tried again a few minutes/hours later doesn't resolve the other. update 2: rebooting the phone worked.

Worst rental experience ever. The app and service are full of hidden fees, and the final cost ends up far higher than the advertised rate. There’s no refund for membership cancellations , even if you don’t use the service. Additional charges—like insurance, mileage, and late return penalties—quickly add up. Be careful before signing up.

This app has become so buggy I have to reinstall it for every reservation because it won't accept payment. It also doesn't tell you so you think you have car reserved but you don't. You find out when you go to pick it up. When you lock/unlock doors while out, it says you're 'out of range' when you're standing right next to it. UPDATE Even WORSE. have to go tru CS for reservation now. App is hot trash!! I absolutely dread trying to use it 😓 Garbage!

What’s new

No flashy features this time, but we did pop the hood and fine-tune the engine. Fewer bugs, smoother rides! Because who needs glitches when you're sharing a car?
