This is great! I use Zipcar/Turo/Avis quite a bit since I don’t own a car. Some notes:

* I would pay extra for unlimited mileage without worrying about overages. This is a major pain point for longer Zipcar trips to Tahoe or Oregon/Nevada

* The deductible is really high. Zipcar lets me pay extra for a $0 deductible.

* Mileage and deductible should be more visible, I had to go and read the actual terms. A small summary before booking might be good

* Mileage overage of $0.50/mile is pretty high considering I’m paying for gas

* UX nit, the calendar widget on the landing page requires me to scroll through a bunch of early morning AM times before getting to my time. The dropoff picker should default to the month of pickup as well.

I’m a big fan of your focus on minimizing hassle. The uber credit is clever! I’ll definitely try you guys for my next trip.



Awesome feedback. Regarding mileage--the terms on the website are slightly outdated and we don't have mileage limits--so none of that mileage overage nonsense. We're also in the process of lowering the standard deductible $500 and adding a zero deductible option for an extra $10/day.


No mileage limits seems crazy. Won't dealers be upset if a car comes back from a week-long rental with an extra 2,500 miles on it?


Awesome!
