💬 Frequently Asked Questions​

 

What do I need to get started?

Simple:

  • Valid driver’s license

  • Active auto insurance at pickup

  • Refundable security deposit

  • Ability to verify identity and local Phoenix address

  • Refundable deposit and first week rent due at pick up.

Drivers who come prepared move through approval quickly.

 

Do I need insurance?

You must have active insurance at pickup. Full coverage is preferred, however liability or a "non-owned policy" is fine as long as the vehicle is properly added to your policy. We can provide the VIN. ​Always consult with your insurance agent.

  • We are commercially insured, but our coverage is secondary; it protects the vehicle, not the driver. Your personal insurance is primary.

  • We don’t make misleading claims like “insurance included.” You drive with your own coverage. This protects you, your income, and the vehicle.

  • In an accident, contact your insurance first, then notify us immediately.

Simple. Transparent. Responsible.

Are the miles really unlimited?

Yes, truly unlimited within the Phoenix area.

  • Unlimited miles

  • No mileage caps

  • No per-mile fees

  • No earning penalties

If you're working locally, you’re not watching the odometer.

Can I drive for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, or multiple apps?

You control how you earn.

Can I take the vehicle outside of Phoenix?

Our vehicles are approved for use within the Phoenix metro area only.

They are not permitted to leave Phoenix unless specifically authorized in writing.

Keeping vehicles local allows us to:

  • Offer truly unlimited miles

  • Provide fast service and support

  • Maintain fleet reliability

If your work is Phoenix-based, you’re exactly who we built this for.

Do you offer roadside assistance?

Yes — we provide free roadside assistance for legitimate vehicle maintenance concerns.

If something mechanical happens, we’ve got you covered.

However, roadside service does not apply to:

  • Driver-caused damage

  • Running out of fuel

  • Lockouts due to negligence

  • Misuse or abuse of the vehicle

We support responsible drivers — and we expect the same in return.

Is there a deposit?

Yes, we require a refundable security deposit.

Drivers who:

  • Return vehicles on time with a full tank

  • Keep them clean

  • Follow basic guidelines

…have no issues receiving their deposit back.

What kind of drivers is this program best for?

This program is ideal for drivers who:

  • Maintain active insurance

  • Communicate proactively

  • Treat vehicles with care

  • Plan to drive consistently

  • Operate primarily within Phoenix

We prioritize long-term, professional drivers.

 

What happens if I’m late or stop communicating?

Life happens — communication solves most problems.

However, missed payments, ignored messages, or leaving the Phoenix area without approval may result in late fees or vehicle recovery.

Clear communication keeps everything smooth.

What if something happens to the vehicle?

Notify our mobile mechanic immediately.

Quick reporting protects you and prevents small issues from becoming bigger ones.

Responsible drivers rarely have issues — and when they do, we handle them quickly.

How Does the Rent-to-Own Program Work?

Our Rent-to-Own program is designed for drivers who want more than just a rental — they want a path toward ownership.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ You start with a standard weekly rental.
2️⃣ A portion of your payments goes toward the vehicle purchase.
3️⃣ After completing the agreed term, ownership transfers to you.

No traditional bank loan required.
No complicated financing process.

It’s built for responsible drivers who:

  • Make consistent weekly payments

  • Maintain insurance

  • Take care of the vehicle

  • Plan to stay long term

The more consistent you are, the smoother the path to ownership.

This program works best for individuals serious about building something — not short-term or temporary renters.

 

Do I Have to Use the Car for Gig Work?

Not at all. While many drivers use our vehicles for Uber, Lyft, Amazon Flex, Walmart Spark, and delivery platforms, we absolutely welcome long-term personal renters.

In fact, some of our best clients are:

  • ❄️ Snowbirds spending the season in Phoenix

  • 🏥 Traveling nurses on contract assignments

  • 🎓 Students (23+) who need reliable transportation

  • 🔑 Drivers working toward Rent-to-Own

  • 🚗 Local residents who just need a dependable weekly vehicle with free maintenance included

Our unlimited Phoenix mileage makes everyday driving simple; whether you're earning income or just living life.

We built our program for stability and flexibility, not just gig work.

🚦Who This Program Is NOT For

To protect our fleet and our drivers, this program isn’t a fit for individuals who:

  • Don’t maintain active insurance

  • Plan to take vehicles outside Phoenix

  • Avoid written agreements

  • Allow unapproved drivers

  • Don’t communicate consistently

  • Misuse or abuse vehicles

We keep standards high so serious drivers can keep earning without restrictions.
