I had lots of technical problems with the app. Background check took almost a month and already been approved months before this w both Uber and Lyft. Got my scheduled appointment and made deposit. Waited for appointment to pick up car

Seemed like a good deal a month ago but after the 300%+ increase in start payments in the same way creditors sense red flags when one person applies and/or obtains multiple new accounts/debts in a short amount of time bc they could already know they're dying (for example LOL) so whatever I wonder what Fair is preparing for!?"

I can't search by transmission type. I want standard (stick shift) transmission and I have to look at every single car to see if it is not automatic :'(

Every time I check in with the app it's a complete wash to choose Fair over owning a vehicle if you're poor even with the prospect of vehicle maintenance."

I've had my Fair car for a year now. It was so easy to find and obtain this car. The customer service at Fair is exceptional and I've had all great experiences with them over this past year.

No representatives available and the app has a lot of glitches. The app asked for my social multiple time and I hope that doesn't effect my credit score. The cars seem affordable.

I was an very early adopter of this platform signing up during their first month in business Sept 2017. I got a 2017 Fully Loaded Limited RAV4 with only 3000 miles and ******* Miles per year and it only cost me $356 with tax included! I didn't even have to pay a start payment! They also delivered the car to my house. Now THAT was a deal. This same deal would cost me a TON more now. Their prices have shot up significantly. I considered adding another car but can't find a good deal anymore. This is basically a service now where you pay a premium for convenience and flexibility. They should get rid of start payments for first time users and lower it for those who keep their cars for more than a year or those who don't swap their cars out a lot. Also the start payment doesn't even cover the first monthly payment. When you turn the car back in you will owe a final monthly payment. They have good innovative leadership and I've experienced great customer service. Just wish the pricing wasn't so much more now.

This is a whole new innovative approach to car buying experience. It takes all of the hassle and high pressure salesman out of the picture. This is awesome!

This app is a great way to drive a newer car without the depreciation of ownership and inflexible terms of a lease. Thanks for creating a flexible option

Just loved to Cali this was great as I didn't want to commit to buying a car when I first arrived. Just have to stay on top of insurance company or may want to get your own.

Using Fair was such an awesome experience for me. It was super easy to get on the app and fill everything out after choosing just the car I wanted. When I showed up to get the car

Seeing many of these reviews same not a problem. SECOND this is the cheapest rental for ride-share drivers I've found! It comes to $198 a week with the tax. I no longer qualify for Uber's quest & promotions however now the one promotion I do qualify for is better than Uber's quest as of Dec 70 rides= $185 and 120 rides= $305 for the week. I have rented with Maven previously for 5 months and I had the cheapest vehicle it was costing me $240 a week! I also used Hire and those cars were costing me $45-$50 a day those were the cheaper rentals too. Not only that I had two cars break down leaving me unable to work a couple times. THIRD thing I think that is important for Everyone considering renting with Uber is that the when you are going to pick up a Fair vehicle (I had to go like 40-50 miles) Fair will pay for your Uber ride there! LASTLY with Fair you don't have to bring in the car every 4 weeks to renew your reservation it is all done remotely. When I rented with Maven for 5 months I had to drive the car to their location every single 5 weeks! I hope this will help some of you!"

I have been using a fair vehicle for the past 7 months and it has been such a relief to know that I can hand in my vehicle whenever I want. That being said

So far fair app has been great! Easy to pickup and easy to pay for. Although customer service is a little sporadic and some employees have some info while others fail to tell you some info.

Fair has the same credit check process as dealerships. You will end up paying a lot more. Why pay 130-150 a week when you can go to a car lot and pay 130-150 a month leasing.

The starting payment they are asking for is ridiculous! People can actually buy a car with that much money. Why would anyone pay that much for a rental car? YOU ARE CRAZY "Fair."

This app is the best and they are super reliable. I leased a car and got the car that I asked for. This company has some potential. I would suggest using it.
