Simply put, renting through Silvercar has been the most pleasant and enjoyable car rental experience I've ever had. From the outstanding customer service to the quality and cleanliness of the vehicles, Silvercar will make you second guess renting from another agency ever again.
I have known about Silvercar for some time but never had the opportunity to use them (either traveled to a city they weren't in or didn't need a car) until now. My family and I recently flew in to Salt Lake City for a long weekend in Park City. Making the reservation online and downloading (and navigating through the app) was very straightforward, and I was able to request two child seats (no additional cost, btw) via their online chat support prior to the reservation, which I thought was really convenient.
On the day of the reservation, I was running 30 minutes behind schedule after landing in SLC (helping my sister and her family secure their own rental car through a different agency), but the Silvercar rep Alex was great in staying in touch, providing text updates on where to meet and how close he was to the airport. Upon Alex's arrival at the passenger pick-up area, I was expecting to toss my luggage in the trunk to be driven back to the Silvercar office, but instead, he simply offered me the keys right there, and we processed everything right on the spot! Now, I don't know if that was because I was running late, because I had child seats, or a combination of the two, but being able to process everything right at the airport was a huge customer experience win (thank you Alex!). In the end, from the time Alex pulled up to the curb with the car to when I drove off, the whole process took less than 5 minutes.
Over the course of the weekend, the A4 I rented was fantastic. The car was only shy of 2000 miles at that point, but the interior was pristine (it still had the new-car smell) and could have passed from coming straight from the showroom floor.
On the morning the car went back, Silvercar was great about sending out text reminders and making sure I knew where to return the car. Their office was easy enough to get to off of the freeway. Another rep was waiting for me upon my arrival, and she politely offered bottled water to take before processing/closing out the reservation, before getting back into the car to head to the airport. Again, the whole process took less than 5 minutes, which was great.
I really can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my Silvercar experience. I've rented lots of vehicles from different agencies over the years, and while some of those experiences were very good, none of them come close to my weekend with Silvercar. Moving forward, I will definitely continue to use Silvercar whenever my travels take me to cities they are located in. read more
