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

“Wait”

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!?"

Only reason I am not giving FAIR 5 stars is because FAIR does not update its inventory as it should. I literally had to wait several times for a requested car

There are some serious bugs in this app. Very basic thing- filter doesn't work properly. It's a great idea which is implemented as a poor product.

Price is way too high for any reasonable car. It is impossible to close opened account and delete personal information. Annoying ads on YouTube.

Not nearly enough info on the cars to make an informed choice. Search function is very limited. If you want to choose a dealer

They collect so much personal information even before they let you in. That's a big no for me. I don't know how anyone else is trying out their app.

UPDATE 11/24/2019 AFTER A VERY TUMULTUOUS TIME OF POOR COMMUNICATION DEALING WITH FAIR'S THIRD PARTY VENDOR FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT(I ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH FAIR and the experience getting into the car was cumbersome I forgave that due to the concept and the company being fairly new. Since having the car I've had several issues with the third Party payment company improperly charging my checking account/card. The automatic payment option is an absolute nightmare they have been up to 6 business days late with actually processing the payment. Then they send these very nasty text messages demanding some huge payment or returning the car. When I can actually stomach the hours of waiting on the phone promises of a returned call(never happens) and out right rude customer service people it ends up with them realizing their issue and still not even an apology or a remedy to the improper fees assessed. Fair as a company tries to make up for it by sending a gift card to cover the fee
