Basically join their network of "approved" fliers to get free airport parking and a carwash, in exchange for making the car available for other members to rent until they get back. Seems like they've been around for a couple years, curious if anyone here's tried them
@staringispolite I just used them for the first time this week on a trip to SFO. In short, they were amazing. For a similar price to renting a subcompact from Hertz, I got a VW SUV. And their policies are much more fair than typical car rental places (i.e. if you don't fill up gas, charged actual price + $10 instead of $9/gallon like most places). Highly recommended.
Used this in SFO 3-4 times and it was always cheaper and super convenient. They shuttle you for free in a town car to their lot of other people's cars. Awesome service.
I've been using FlightCar for over a year to rent cars in Boston and San Francisco when I'm in town for a few days. Always excellent vehicles, rock bottom prices, and so much more convenient than the other rental options (black car comes and picks you up as soon as you arrive). I'd love to see them come to more cities!
How was this never posted on here before?! What kind of operation are you running here, @rrhoover.

I used this service twice. The second time, someone renting my car got a toll ticket for not paying toll and it got sent to me. As soon as I notified their rep with ticket info and number etc, the next day, they paid it directly. It was a pretty great experience, I like driving down so I'm in charge of my schedule and their drop off and pick up service was very immediate. Some visual polish should really happen on their mobile experience, but overall good irl experience. I'd recommend it. I ran into one of the guys running it one of the earlier times I tried them, they had trouble finding a drop off driver so he just drove me to the airport, nice guys!

Great deal for renters, not so great for car owners. I stopped using them after numerous problems with their renters using my FasTrak, blowing out lights and etc. I'd rather pay for parking than deal with the hassle of FlightCar.
