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!
Silvercar is adding the 7 passenger Q7 SUV to their fleet. This is their first car that can accommodate more than 5 passengers! It will be available in select airports, including Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, and more, starting 2/15.
Their fleet will include the Audi A4, Q5 SUV, Q7 SUV, and the A5 Cabriolet convertible.
You can also request Peg Perego booster and convertible car seats at no additional charge!
I rented from them in Miami on a 2 day trip in the summer, and unlike the weather at the time, the car rental was a real treat. I called them upon landing and they picked me up from the terminal so that I was able to avoid taking the train to them. After the rental they dropped me off in my rental car right back to the terminal.
Cars come 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.
There is no additional fee for adding additional authorized drivers to your reservation.
I rented a car from Avis in Miami 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 $9.95 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.
Both AMEX and Chase cover the CDW insurance for a Audi A4, A5, Q5, or Q7, just select personal coverage when renting and write AMEX, Chase, etc.
You only pay when you pickup the car, nothing is charged beforehand and there are no cancellation fees ever.

I’m going to FLL on Sunday. They have no 7 seater options available yet? Do u recommend a different car rental company at FLL?
Are you leaving from the NYC area on Sunday. I don’t think you’ll make it, check the forecast.
No not from nyc
Okay. Good. Because all the masses that are leaving from the NYC area airports this Sunday should start making alternative options.
I noticed that you didn’t mention the Q7 being covered. Is it really not? And what about AMEX premium coverage? What do you recommend doing when renting a Q7 as far as insurance is concerned?
The Q7 is covered as well.
do i have to wait till 2/15 to be able to book? I tried booking LAX for april and it’s not showing the A7. thanks!
It’s the Q7 and it is bookable now.
oops yes, Q7. problem was my previous search was saved on their website so it wasn’t pulling up the Q7, after restarting the search it showed up. Thanks. BUT at LAX it’s only allowing 11 pm as the latest pickup time and 5 am as the earliest, but my flight arrives after midnight… are they closed from 11-5?
The weekly30 code is saying car needs to be returned by 03/31/19 I guess promo is over after that
THANK YOU @DAN!! I have a reservation for next week for the Q5 from MIA for 4 days and just got another $160 off my reservation! I used your referral to sign up years ago, but this will be my first reservation. I hope you get the credit!
Enjoy!
Do all Amex cards have primary insurance
None do unless you pay $20/rental extra.
I assume Dan doesn’t want to say this, as it may not be the most honest thing to do, but…
Once you enroll in the Amex insurance program, it automatically charges you the $20 when a rental gets charged to your card. Usually rental companies charge you after the rental, they just take your cc info before. You can initially give the rental company your Amex cc, and write down Amex for the insurance. Then assuming there’s no issues, you can ask them after the rental to use a different cc, and you shouldn’t have any problems. And you won’t get charged by Amex since the rental never charged to the card. (Obviously if there was an issue, you keep it charged to the Amex, and pay the $20, as that will give you the insurance).
Just make sure to enroll yourself in Amex’s insurance program, because it’s not on by default!
Do all silvercars offer free booster seat?
Yes.
codes dont stack for me
Read the bold red letters in the post.
1) They do NOT pick you up from the terminal. I called them and they told me that they do not do it from MIA
2) Why do you say that you have to do both steps to get the $25 referral refund? You can add you code int he end and get it. That is what the website says and the rep confirmed it as well.
1. Prob YMMV if they’re busy or not.
2. That’s what you used to have to do for credit. Hopefully they’ve made it better in that case.
True there’s no need for 2 steps anymore
Under 25 do they charge underage fees?
No.
Thank you Dan for a code on an older post. I just finished a 2 day rental from FLL for the a5 cabriolet convertable and only cost me $139!! (Minus the $25 for 1st time and it cost me $114) it was an awesome car and a great experience!
Awesome!
too bad nothing available near LGA (Queens)
Thanks just added the free 2 day promo code to a upcoming rental.
Did anyone try using the code MYAUDI1 or MYAUDI2 without owning an audi? These codes are officially meant only for owners of an Audi. Does anyone know if they are strict about this?
I have the same question. I have an upcoming trip using the MYAUDI2 code and curious if they will take the code off if I do not own an Audi
Please post after your trip if it works
Sure it works I think it’s the best codes
Is Visainf20 stackable with Myaudi2? On an ongoing rental finishing tomorrow? Please let me know how. Thanks

“sorry, something is amiss on our part”
tried again, got same response. they now have all my husbands info, bit no reservation. any suggestions?
How do you add cars seats to the reservation?
Call/email to request.
I’m booking a 10 day rental from LAX via your referral link. Booking a Q5, from Jan 28 to Feb 07 using the WEEKLY30 code. I keep getting different price totals. Once it was as low as $489 now its at $584. Is there a difference which day the reservations are made on?
If I use a citi credit card, do I have to purchase insurance even though citi gives free rental insurance?
Hey, Are there any updates on the ownership codes? (Myaudi 1 and 2)
It’s too much work to do a rental with this code and that code and most of the time does not work . I can’t even find a phone number to call and ask question .
1-855-359-2227
Can I do a multi city rental with them ? Phx to las? Thanks
Can I book the car with my Sapphire Reserve for the chase insurance, then switch payment to my amex for the $100 of $350?
Hey these codes are Sick, I just got an Q7 at Miami Airport with the 2 day free code. It came out cheaper than any other rental for a full size standard SUV. Thank you Dan.

Silvercar is defunct as of 2023
