Roam’s transparent, profit-free damage pricing process

In the event that your vehicle has been damaged, we will provide you a competitive price to have the damages repaired. To provide you with the best price possible, we have made it a policy to not profit from the repair work. We simply pass the cost onto you so you can rest assured that you’re getting a good price.


We handle the repairs

In the event there is major damage to your vehicle, we will work with our service partners to get the repairs done and get you back in your vehicle as quickly as possible.


Locating your insurance slip

Your insurance slips are located in the glove compartment on the passenger side of your vehicle. In the event that you’re stopped by police, they will likely ask you for your insurance slip. You can also find this in your Roam Dashboard.


Can I opt out of Roam’s insurance since my credit card covers rental cars?

No. The fine print of credit cards states that they do not cover rentals beyond a few days. Furthermore, our insurance is a blanket policy that covers all vehicles so we cannot remove individual vehicles.

Deductible

The deductible on our insurance plan is $2,500, which means that the customer will have to pay $2,500 in the case of a claim. For vehicles over $50,000, the deductible is $5,000.


I have credit card insurance? Am I covered?

You are required to pay the minimum deductible if you are involved in any accident or have damage outstanding on your vehicle. If you pay your deductible with a credit card that has coverage or reimbursement for insurance payouts relating to vehicle damage, you may raise a claim with your credit card provider after the Roam deductible has been paid. Please refer to your credit card company for details and coverage. Damage to Vehicles


Normal wear and tear

Where in tear for driving is expected while you have your vehicle. Similar to when you lease a car, small scratches less than 2 inches are considered normal wear and tear. However, rips or stained seats, deep scratches, curb rash, paint transfers, and dings or dents larger than 1 inch are not considered normal wear and tear. Let’s avoid surprises together, and let us know of any damage or incident here:
