About Silvercar:
Silvercar is a new-age car rental company. Since I first wrote about Silvercar I’ve received lots of rave reviews from readers thanking me for introducing them to Silvercar. Share your experience in the comments!
I rented from them in Miami on a 2 day trip in the summer, and unlike the weather, the car rental was a real treat. I called them upon landing and they picked me up from the terminal so that I was able to avoid taking the train to them. After the rental they dropped me off in my rental car right back to the terminal.
The only car they rent is the fun to drive, all-wheel drive Audi A4. It comes with built-in GPS, satellite radio, bluetooth, leather seats, and even a free WiFi hotspot. Unlimited miles are included in every rental.
You can even request car seats at no additional charge!
You can rent from Silvercar as long as you are at least 22 years old with no underage fees.
I rented a car from Avis in Miami and got hit with a $17.20 bill for a two 70 cent tolls that I apparently passed on SR112. That’s $1.40 for the tolls and $15.80 for an “eToll Convenience Fee.” Convenient for whom is the question?
Silvercar only passes on the toll itself, no convenience fees!
If you don’t refill the fuel you’ll only be charged a $5 flat rate fee on top of the actual local price of the gas needed to fill up the car. No need to jeopardize missing your flight just to avoid paying $10/gallon for fuel.
Both AMEX and Chase cover the CDW insurance for a Audi A4, just select personal coverage when renting and write the name of your bank.
You only pay when you pickup the car, nothing is charged beforehand and there are no cancellation fees ever.

NYC Discounted rate is $90 (on a weekend), still much more expensive than ordering via Chase Sapphire’s Rewards site
They will charge you additional “Sales Tax” and
“Rental Car Sales Tax” on the toll and gas plus fee if you take advantage of “Silvercar only passes on the toll itself” and “only” paying a “$5 flat rate fee on top of the actual local price of the gas”.
Happened to me
Do they provide pick up in the location in Brooklyn?
Is there any liability coverage?
I got it at $136 a day!
Maybe they’re like Judge Roy Moore, CollegeGirls may be too old for them! 🙂
Can’t make a reservation more than 6 months out (i.e., starting later than 5/19/2018 as of today). Ugh.
Does this company have a deal if you pick up in one city or state and return in another? I’m looking to minimize those fees.
I have rented from Silvercar several times and the experience has deteriorated somewhat. The LAX pickup location is a joke and the parking shuttle you need to use doesn’t come very frequently. They haven’t refreshed their fleet and all the cars there had over 40k miles. Audi purchased the company and it seems they haven’t quite figured out what to do with it.
is there a way to drop off at diff location?
Ugh, German Car 🙁
Will the amex SPG cover the insurance and what should i write in there ?
