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!
The only car they rent is the 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 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 earlier this year 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.
At airports where Silvercar is offsite you’ll get picked up and dropped off at the airport in an Audi as well.
Both AMEX and Chase cover the CDW insurance for a Audi A4, but it’s always a good idea to confirm and get things in writing before renting.
You can cancel a reservation at any time for free.

I did this last week it was awesome!
just cancelled the reservation that I had for Miami in July at 59 dollars a day, was able to rebook at 49 dollars a day! Thanks Dan!
@mel:
Nice!
Could you do back-to-back bookings for 2 days each?
Just signed up using your referral Dan! Question, when it asks for my insurance coverage during after sign up, my options are “personal, corporate, silvercar”, and then asks for the insurance carrier and policy number. So to use my Saphire Preferred, I would just select “personal” and then for carrier write “Chase Saphire Preferred”?
Is it possible to rent under 22 and pay an underage fee?
Just did it in phx 2 days total was $43 for 2 days but the tax was a total of $39.57
are you allowed to drive this into canada?
Using Silvercar now in LA and there is nothing like it!
It looks like the LAX rate jumped from $59 to $89 a day.
@Dan hey Dan would it be possible to do 3 two day rentals and get the free day on each, and keep the same car?
