I signed up to share my vehicle and I am blown away by how well they treated my car while I was gone. My car is clean, sanitized and running as well as it did before. I trust them and would definitely and WILL be working with them again.

I love Avail! Both as a renter and as a vehicle owner. They go above and beyond for both services and are always friendly, quick and helpful!

Awesome car rental company with wonderful customer service. I especially like that I can rent my car out there when I leave town for extended periods of time. They always take great care of the cars & customers. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough positive things about Avail. My car has been borrowed around a dozen times now and it’s always been returned in spotless condition. […] I recommend their service to anyone.
– Emily F.
I love Avail car sharing. […] My car gets washed, vacuumed and all around cleaned before I pick it up. On top of that, if it gets used I get paid. I feel safe using it because it’s affiliated with Allstate insurance. If something happens, I know I’m covered.

Frequently asked questions
*In addition to the guaranteed earnings, owners will earn a fixed amount each day their eligible car is booked on the Avail platform based on the car’s class. Standard cars, mid-size SUVs and vans earn $20 per day and large SUVs earn $25 per day. This fixed daily earnings counts toward the guaranteed amount. If the car is not borrowed during the sharing period, owners will still earn the guaranteed amount. If the car is frequently borrowed during the owner’s sharing period, the owner can earn more than the guaranteed amount.
**Owners who share at neighborhood locations are guaranteed to earn at least $50/week when their eligible car is shared for 7 consecutive days. If you list your car for the minimum sharing length of 5 consecutive days, you’ll earn a prorated guaranteed amount of $35.71.
