A bit off-topic, but membership in the Audi select program includes a credit for up to 2 days of Silvercar per month. Unclear if the credits are cumulative.
Silvercar could provide a platform for Audi to offer additional car subscription options.

Heh yeah, lot of the luxury brands are coming out with these monthly car subscription services now. I think BMW and Mercedes have them, Cadillac I believe also has one, and they can go to 2000-3000 a month...depending on what plan you choose.
While it is certainly quite expensive, I guess it does have its perks if you are constantly leasing or have a new car payment anyway. It covers insurance, maintenance, car cleaning, and you can drive different cars each month.

How is SilverCar in LAX? I need a 4 day rental and while they're a bit more than Alamo it would be worth it knowing I get to avoid the annoying shuttle bus. I've seen a lot of conflicting info online saying that sometimes they use a shuttle bus, sometimes they send a lyft and sometimes they pick you up in the car you're renting.

I love the Silvercar experience generally, feels premium, good product but the transfer in DEN is far less than premium. Will probably keep using it when there is a good price, but it's not perfect.

I am planning to pick up downtown SF and drop off airport SF. Even with $75 surcharge for one way drop off, their prices were competitive with the other companies.
One question, family of 4 renting the Q5. Will trunk fit three 25" suitcases. Based on measurements of 28 cubic feet, I think it should.

I am new to Silvercar and only found out about them via Autoslash(thanks!), but I had a question about double dipping on a their discounts. I am staying 4 days in Las Vegas and wanted to try the SilverCar location there and found a discount code that allows for a free day; so I decided to reserve for two days and made a second reservation for the remaining two days to allow for 2/4 days being free. Anyone have tried this method and will SilverCar deny my reservation? Technically, they are two separate reservations and it beats the xx% discounts that I've seen.

The code is not specific to "one day free on your first rental", instead it appears to be a "one day free on a minimum 2 day rental", I came upon it while trying to enter a different code. I've made two separate reservations and both have been confirmed successfully. I might just use the excuse that the latter reservation was made if the vehicle is required after the first rental on our trip?
