Silvercar<br />

A new paradigm for<br />

vehicle rental<br />

By Jeff Dorgay<br />

L<br />

et’s face it, one of <strong>the</strong> biggest complaints with business and<br />

pleasure travel is renting an automobile once you arrive at your<br />

destination. We can’t all be James Bond and have a silver Aston<br />

Martin and a perfect martini waiting for us at <strong>the</strong> gate. But you<br />

can have a sparkling clean silver Audi A4 (complete with S-line<br />

package) waiting for you, sans martini, at <strong>the</strong> Chicago, Denver,<br />

New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Austin<br />

airports.<br />

The Silvercar experience is beyond wonderful. Getting out of Chicago’s O’Hare<br />

International from <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r car rental carriers is usually 60–90 minutes minimum,<br />

sometimes longer if you aren’t a premier rental customer. Silvercar has an app for<br />

your smartphone to manage your reservation, and it allows you to ping one of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

representatives <strong>the</strong> minute your plane hits <strong>the</strong> ground. By <strong>the</strong> time you get through<br />

baggage claim, a friendly Silvercar person is <strong>the</strong>re to hand your Audi to you.<br />
