Silvercar

This is THE BEST car rental experience I have ever had. WOW. That is all I can say, WOW.
The first time they have to check your driver’s license and credit card, but from then on – you are on your way.
Technology at its best. And, you’ll see why.
As soon as you land, they pick you up in an Audi A4. All the cars are Audi A4s in top notch condition. «Yes,» they are also all silver. There is no choice, but if you love German cars, you’ll love Audi. Hell, if you have never driven a German car, jump in an Audi, you’ll stay very loyal to the brand.
Once they pick you up in the A4, and deliver you to their location, you go to your car, scan the bar code on the window with your smart phone. The doors immediately unlock, the key is there and you are on your way. THAT SIMPLE!
The car has WiFi (3g). The car has navigation and it has blue tooth. If you run Pandora, Spotify, etc. on your phone it streams the music from your phone via Bluetooth. If you go through tolls, they have a scanner in the car, and will bill you for the tolls a couple of weeks later WITHOUT an additional fee. What you used, you pay.
If you forget to fill up with gas they will fill it up for you (at cost) plus a $ 5 service fee. Man, it just doesn’t get any easier or better than SilverCar.
Jump in an Audi on your next trip with SilverCar. You will be glad you did.

Arrived in Ft. Lauderdale this morning and after picking up luggage used the app to text SilverCar. Waited less than 2 minutes and was picked up in a brand new Silver S4. Picking up the car was quick and seamless. Thus far excellent experience! Will update in a few days.

Rented for a business trip from the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Model for comany is great. They only have one car, which is a high performance Audi. They rely on a smart phone app to communicate with the customers. You get there, you have to go to the Rental Car Area at the airport and then you are picked up in one of the silver cars. The biggest problem with our rental was the Audi navigation system failed us twice in three days. It was unable to find the Silvercar location (which was preprogrammed by the business) on our return to the airport which (when you are trying to get to the airport) added unnecessary stress. The car itself was relatively new, and was filled with technology, was beautiful and fun to drive. Not sure what I think overall – I would think average to slightly above average. Look for coupons to defer some of the cost – but the overall cost is competitive.

Couldn’t have gone smoother. Txt them when you’re picking up your baggage; Silvercar will be outside the terminal in a few minutes. A short drive back to their home base, transfer to your rental and off you go. They only rent Audi A4s and already being a fan of Audi, I was happy. When you return, stop at their home base first, the driver will take you to the airport in your rental and drop you off at your airline’s terminal.

I was a little concerned that Silvercar was located off site from the Ft Lauderdale airport, but went ahead and reserved a car on the app. When I landed in FLL, I received a text welcoming me to FLL. I then picked up my luggage and proceeded to the pick up area and was picked up within a few minutes. Sergio, the driver explained the whole Silvercar process as well as the features of the Audi on the way to the lot. He was very helpful, and knowledgable. When we got to the lot, he showed me how to scan my rental car, left me with a cold bottle of water, and I was on my way within a few minutes. Also, the Audi is a great car! Sorry Hertz and Avis, I won’t be needing you any more…

Having rented many cars in my 28 years of driving, I can tell you that Silvercar is a godsend. Unless, of course, you prefer to deal with the incompetent and overpriced big boys of rental cars.
