Flight Car

We’ve used Flight Car three times and think that their package — free parking, free wash, airport shuttle and a cut of the rental — is an incredibly good deal. We picked up our car last night and learned that someone had rented it for three days and drove 4091 miles. Can’t imagine where they went. But our car was clean and in good shape and our cut of the rental was $ 386.60. Plus we saved over $ 100 in parking fees. It’s a win-​win for both the renter and the owner. A friend offered to take us to the airport, but we’d rather use Flight Car. Manager Kevin was very conscientious and professional.

A+++ to Kevin for excellent customer service. I am a car owner and was picked up promptly at the airport. My car was returned in better condition than when I dropped off.
Flightcar keeps you informed of the status of your car and send drop off/​pick up emails and texts which make the process very convenient.
This is the second time I have left my car and will do so again.

For a long time I have wondered why someone hasn’t come to market with a solution for utilizing all the stored car inventory that is parked at the airport. You fly in and see acres and acres of cars just sitting there costing their owners money day after day. So I was very excited to learn of Flight Car, which puts those stagnant cars to work while offering the car owners the benefit of free parking and perhaps a cut of the rental fees they collect. I can’t rate the service from the perspective of a car owner, but from a renter’s perspective, it was a fantastic experience. We were picked up promptly from the airport, got a very nice car for 10 days and were happy with the return of the car as well. The process of having one Flight Car employee doing everything was a bit on the slow side, so if multiple people were there at the same time, I could see how that would be a problem — but that was not the case with us. As others have noted, Flight Car’s inventory is completely unpredictable since they can only rent out the cars people bring to them. I hope they tweak their business model slightly to have some of their own cars so they can accommodate peak demand (such as the holidays) better.

NOT WORTH IT!!! If I could give this POS company a –10 stars, I would. I reserved an economy car in August (booked through
, for a car at Flight Car), for my California vacation in December. My husband and I got off our airplane in San Diego around 10:30pm on Dec. 29, 2015 and per my reservation, called the phone # for a shuttle to come get us to take us to our rental. I called, only to find out that they had no car for me. Instead, they told us that they made a reservation for us at Alamo for $ 120 MORE than what I was to pay Flight Car. They said that they would reimburse us once we returned the car to Alamo, however I asked how long it would take for the reimbursement to process, and instead of the normal ‘3−7 business days’ they said it would take about 2 – 3 WEEKS! I asked why they couldn’t just cover the extra cost instead of reimbursing me, and they didn’t have a valid response. After repeatedly asking to speak to a manager or supervisor, and being denied each time, we finally got a shuttle over to Alamo. Once we were at Alamo, my husband was on the phone with Flight Car trying to get through to someone who could give us good reason as to why we never got contacted about them not having a car for us (they claimed they didn’t have a phone # or email, which is BS, because I even received an email confirmation with all my info-​phone # included), and as I was speaking with Alamo, they were kind enough to match the rate of Flight Car for us! And, since they didn’t have an economy car, like the one I had reserved for $ 37.77/day, they gave us a FULL SIZE truck, and even comped the gas! We left with a full tank and they told us to bring it back on empty and we wouldn’t be charged! My suggestion, is stay FAR AWAY from this place! From my understanding, they don’t have an actual car lot with rentals, I was told that they just lease out other peoples vehicles who are gone, and so you’re basically just borrowing someone else’s car and paying for it through this third party. You will be better off paying a little more going through a bigger LEGIT company such as Alamo, Enterprise, or Hertz.
