Silvercar by Audi – Mobile App for luxury car rentals

January 5, 2019 by Denise Courter

Spending the weekend in an Audi Q5 SUV, courtesy of Silvercar by Audi. It’s a premium luxury car rental service that allows users to book a car, via a seamless mobile booking app, known as Silvercar by Audi. As someone who loves to drive and get away for the weekend, the rental option is great for quick getaways and super easy to utilize. Plus, the service also offers complimentary luxury car seats from Peg Perego, so for families with little ones in tow, it is super convenient. And, for families with 4-legged friends, they offer dog car seat covers and pet hammocks in the Audi A4 and Q5 models. The Silvercar by Audi experience is an app-based premium rental car service for people who want to rent cars in style and without all the hassle. No lines! No paperwork!

Silvercar offers Audi A4 sedans, Q5 SUVs and A5 Cabriolets with onboard Wi-Fi, navigation, and SiriusXM satellite radio—always included at no additional cost. The Audi fleets include the quattro® all-wheel drive, Audi virtual cockpit with Google Earth™, and Audi smartphone interface. The Audi Q5 is an IIHS Top Safety Pick and received Best Auto Tech award from KBB. Not sure who is having more fun with the fully-loaded options; WiFi, Bluetooth, and heated seats to name a few. But, taking advantage of my Apple radio in the car has been a treat. And, using the Google maps app with the onboard navigation system and the display is a lot better than looking at my phone for directions and music. Of course, now my kids think we need to buy the car, but for now, we will keep renting this gorgeous car.

All Silvercar customers benefit from no fuel upcharges, no mileage restrictions, no additional fees for toll charges, and no fees for luxury Peg Perego car seat rentals. Prices start at $59 per day for the Audi A4 and $79 a day for the Audi Q5. Locations include Brooklyn, Manhattan and Newark, NJ for city-dwellers. But, there are 20+ locations across the country, including most large airports. Silvercar by Audi just wrapped a successful holiday program, known as The Four Feet Fleet program– a “paw-some” special holiday promotion that allowed travelers with dogs the ability to take their furry friends along for the ride home or on their holiday vacation.

FiDi Families Insiders: Take advantage of a fabulous promotion available to first-time customers, courtesy of FiDi Families: 20% off code is valid until 6/1/2019. Simply use the promo code FiDi20.

To get started, just download the Silvercar app for iPhone or Android or visit Silvercar.com and then request a reservation.
