Ratings and reviews

For the price, Evie is the perfect supplement to my monthly metropass. It's saved me when I just miss the last of the nearest hourly bus that'd get me home, and mile per mile is reliably equal to or less than the price that I'd expect to pay to a company like Uber. HourCar is nice when you know you'll need a lil more space for a load of small-to-medium furniture, like after a breakup. Also good for trips to the suburbs and beyond. 1 star taken away for limited Evie home range; needs extending.

App needs some work. I've spent a few days searching for a vehicle to drive and they are never where the app says they should be located. Perhaps some sort of location system in each of your cars would help so the customer would be able to find one easier. And also showing the license plate of the vehicle would help too.

I expected this app to be very finicky and hard to navigate especially being an 18 year old who's automatically considered a risky driver. I was fortunately proven wrong. My license/insurance were approved in under a day. The ride went seamlessly and manuals were available. When I forgot an item in the vehicle after my ride and couldn't find it on the in-app map, the help phone line resolved the issue in minutes. At 2 am! Would very much recommend this service.
