...We are dedicated to going above and beyond; it’s what puts us miles ahead of the rest.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 14, 2014
FlightCar (http://www.flightcar.com), the world’s first peer-to-peer car sharing company to operate at airports, expanded operations to include Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) today.
FlightCar, which already operates in three other major U.S. cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston, enables its customers to enjoy free airport parking and earn extra cash by renting out their unused cars to other approved members. FlightCar pays car owners when their car is rented, based on the mileage the car is driven. The company has seen impressive growth in the past year since its launch and has the financial backing and endorsement of many high-profile investors, including GGV Capital, General Catalyst Partners, Airbnb Co-Founder Brian Chesky, and Ryan Seacrest. Travelers can expect to see FlightCar opening in more cities across the nation in the near future.
“We’re pleased with the positive feedback we’ve received from our customers, and we’re continually working to deliver the best possible parking and rental experiences,” said FlightCar Co-Founder & CEO, Rujul Zaparde. “We are dedicated to going above and beyond; it’s what puts us miles ahead of the rest.”
FlightCar service includes free drop off and pick up in a town car for both owners and renters. Customers get the benefit of free airport parking and a car wash - even if FlightCar does not rent out their vehicle. FlightCar's rates vary depending on the year, make, and model, but for renters, the fees are consistently 40-50% lower than those of typical rental car companies. Additionally, FlightCar insures each vehicle for up to $1M on property and liability, offering protection for owners and renters alike.
Kevin Petrovic, FlightCar Co-Founder & President, clarified, “If you list your vehicle with FlightCar, you are completely covered. There is no deductible. Your personal insurance coverage is never on the hook. We cover $1,000,000 in liability for you, per incident, and that is primary coverage in case of any incident. We also cover the full value of the car in case of collision/damage, and that is also primary, with no deductible. We cover every penny of damage. Every time.”
The FlightCar facility in Seattle will be located at 19820 International Blvd, SeaTac, 98188.
To celebrate the Seattle launch, FlightCar will give everyone who lists their car at the SEA location a guaranteed $20 in listing earnings (through 11/15/14)! Not only is parking guaranteed to be free, you’re now guaranteed to earn cash even if your car is not rented! What’s better than getting paid to park?
