Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: May 10, 2023

Plan & Terms

Are there unlimited kilometers?

Roam does not have an unlimited kilometer option at this team. Most of our drivers do not require this, so we are able to keep our subscription costs lower, compared to a traditional rental vehicle.


How many Kilometers can I drive?

You can drive a maximum of 3000km per month. The base subscription plan includes 2000km per month, and you can add an additional 1000km per month for $99 per month for economy vehicles and $129 per month for luxury vehicles.

Why aren't certain vehicles available on the 1 month plan?

Luxury vehicles and 7/8 seater vehicles are not eligible for a monthly plan because they are quite popular amongst our subscribers. We do not offer the monthly term since their return cycle is less predictable, and they spend more time on the road with other subscribers than most of our economy vehicles. We offer this to help provide a better experience for those looking to gain more continuity with their selection experience, and to help plan availability with more accuracy.


What’s included in my car subscription plan?

We’ve included everything you need to drive with peace of mind today.


In addition to your car, you get:

  • 2,000 kms to use each month to start
  • Comprehensive auto insurance
  • Routine maintenance like oil changes and break repairs
  • Roadside assistance
  • Dedicated support to help you when you need it

Roam makes getting a car hassle free!

What plans do you offer?

We currently offer monthly and three-month terms. Most luxury and 7 seater vehicles are not eligible for a monthly plan, since there is so much demand from our subscribers, and the vehicles are almost always on the road.


You can see all your options upfront on the vehicle selection page.

Can I cancel my subscription and return my car whenever I want?

Early cancellation on Monthly and Weekly Plans

The minimum commitment on a monthly plan is 30 days. Returning within your first 30 days will subject you to the early cancellation re-stocking fee of $849.


After 30 days you can cancel your subscription at any time given you have provided 14 days notice (see here for scheduling return).


You will not be refunded for the days unused no matter when you decide to return your vehicle so it is recommended to book your return as close to your renewal date as possible to get the most value from your subscription!

Early cancellation on 3-month plans

If you are in a term length of 3 months or more, there is an early cancellation fee of $849 if you cancel your subscription prior to the completion of your 3rd month. If you are in your 3rd month and you are looking to return prior to the completion of your final month, please message us directly to help facilitate your return!


(see here for scheduling return)

Can I change my plan term from a monthly term to 3-month term?

Definitely! If you decide to stay longer with your Roam vehicle, simply just let us know by contacting support before your next renewal and we'll get you set up and renewed for 3 months.

Can I extend my subscription if I want to keep the car for longer?

Yes, you can extend your subscription. Once you let us know about your intention to extend, you simply keep the car until you don’t need it anymore. Your subscription will renew every 30 days until notice is provided, and the vehicle is returned.


If you are on a 3-month plan, you will be renewed for 3 more months, so keep that in mind if you choose to return! For example, if you are finishing a 3-month term and only need it for 2 more months, feel free to let support know to switch you to the monthly to avoid any early cancellation fees.

Can other people drive my Roam Vehicle?

Every driver needs to be placed under your subscription for insurance purposes.


You can add up to 5 drivers to your subscription! Each driver is an additional $75 to your subscription.


Each driver must be approved via the Roam driver approval process. Simply have your additional drivers sign up the same way the primary driver did and then let us know that they are an additional driver.

Can I add more mileage to my subscription?

The base subscription comes with 2000km per month.

You can increase your mileage to a total of 3000km per month an additional $99 for economy vehicles and $129 for luxury vehicles.

Feel free to let one of our team members know when you would like to add your mileage and will be added to your monthly subscription charge!


Please note: There is a mileage overage fee that is charged for every additional kilometer beyond your mileage limit. The fees are $0.35 per km for economy vehicles and $0.47 per km for luxury vehicles.

How do I know how much mileage I used?

We recommend keeping note of your mileage at the start of your subscription, however we do keep note of it! Feel free to contact our support team and we will let you know!

Can we use our vehicles for ride-sharing or food delivery?

We are currently running a Tesla for Uber program! Please check our Uber & Ridesharing section for more details.

Otherwise, we do not allow customers to use their vehicles for commercial purposes like ride sharing, package or food delivery. Doing so against our policy will result in the immediate termination of your agreement.

How will swapping my vehicle work?

What's great about Roam is our flexibility in your vehicle choice! Please get started with checking out what's available for a swap by clicking this link here!


Please ensure that you select an available vehicle listed on that page, as selecting another vehicle will not guarantee you of a swap!


Any honoured pricing will not carry over to your new vehicle. For more details fill out the form and then a Roam support member will be in touch to discuss details of your swap!


  • Monthly term: Your swap charge is waived
  • 3 month term or longer: You are subject for a $250 swap charge

Vehicle

How much is a monthly subscription?

Your monthly car subscription payment is dependent on 3 factors:


  1. The car you choose: Choosing a more expensive car will increase your monthly payment.
  2. The length of your term: Committing to a longer term plan results in a higher discount which will decrease your monthly payment.
  3. The mileage package you choose: Every car subscription comes with 2,000 kms included. Choosing a higher mileage package will increase the price of your subscription.

What does my monthly subscription give me?

Your monthly car subscription payment includes:


  • Your vehicle of choice
  • Mandatory premium auto insurance
  • minimum of 2000km per month
  • routine maintenance and roadside assistance

Check out the "Managing My Subcription" section to see more add-ons to get the most out of your Roam vehicle experience!

What kind of gas does my car take?

On the inside of your gas door there will be a sticker, or an indicator on your gas cap for what fuel is recommended for your vehicle.


Is there a spare tire in my car?

Most vehicles come with a spare tire, however all subscriptions with Roam are covered under roadside assistance.


All of our vehicles are covered by roadside assistance so you don't have to worry about changing a tire yourself. If you find yourself in a circumstance where you have a flat tire or need a tow, please refer to our roadside assistance numbers above.


You can refer to the appropriate roadside assistance number and they will provide any services that require tire changing, repair, or tow.

What kind of tires are on my vehicle?

At Roam we ensure that we only use recommended tires from the factory and OEM, to ensure the safest and smoothest driving experience possible.

Can I add Winter tires?

Vehicles come equipped with all season tires to handle Canadian Winters.


No matter the case, our goal is to make sure you’re comfortable and feel safe in your vehicle. If you would like to drive with winter tires on your vehicle contact our Support team and we can make the necessary arrangements. To be eligible for winter tires you will need to:


  • Be a in a 3 month subscription or longer
  • Pay an additional $150 per month until the tires are removed (this charge will be reflected on your subscription until the tires are no longer on your vehicle, your original subscription fee will return to normal afterwards)

Please note there is a monthly charge for each vehicle to equip them with winter tires.

Will the gas tank be filled?

We try to hand over the vehicle with a full tank. Given that we drive vehicles to customers, sometimes they arrive with a tank that is less than full.


Please note the level of the tank and try to return the vehicle at or above that level. We charge customers to refill the tank if the car is returned with a tank at a level lower than as it was received.

  • All available, and soon to be available Roam vehicles
  • Your insurance documents & vehicle information
  • Ability to manage your payments, see invoices, & update your credit card
  • Schedule your vehicle pickup, and return, or valet service
  • Manage your details and subscription

Verifying your account will help create an ease of mind that only you can access the important information.

My verification code is not working

It's likely that you have been sent 2 unique verification codes.


The first code is to verify your phone number (sent via SMS).


The second code (sent to your email) is to verify your email.


Please ensure you are using the correct verification code for each both verification steps.


You might have also requested the code too many times. Sometimes it takes a while for the verification code to send. Please note that everytime you request the code it resets, so if you requested the code 5 times, you have to wait for the 5th code to input!



Phone Verification troubleshooting:


  • You will be prompted to enter the 4-digit verification code that is texted to your phone number via SMS.
  • Check your phone for the text message, and re-open your browser to the phone verification screen.
  • Enter the 4-digit code to proceed to the email verification.
  • If you're using a phone number that can't receive text messages, you can change your number before proceeding
  • If you used an international phone number you will not receive the code, please use a Canadian phone number.


Email Verification troubleshooting:


  • If you are waiting for an email verification, please check your spam or another promotion folder!


If you are still having trouble, please clear your cache or cookies or updating your browser.

I entered the wrong phone number or email

You can edit or change both your phone number and your email address during the verification process.

I have an international phone number, will that work?

You will need a Canadian phone number with a regular area code in order to sign up for your roam account. Canadian phone numbers are 10 digits, and should look similar to this (647-123-1234).

Getting Started

What is the process to get a car?

Here are the steps, from sign up to car in your driveway:


  1. Create an account and book your vehicle online
  2. The Roam team will process your background check and approve your application.
  3. Once approved, you’ll set up your payments, pay your refundable security deposit and subscription activation fee.
  4. Schedule your pickup or delivery date and sign your subscription agreement
  5. Get your car!

Roam makes getting a car simple and convenient. Everything can be done online and our support team is standing by to help if you need it.

How long does it take to sign up and get a car?

It takes 5 minutes from selecting your vehicle to submitting your subscription.


Here are your steps:

  • Select your vehicle
  • Create an account (if you are not already logged in)
  • Upload your Driver's license
  • Answer our short pre-qualification questions

We'll take it from there! It can take up to 1-2 business days to get everything prepared and process your subscription. We do our best to get you approved as quickly as we can.


We'll notify you of any updates or documentation needed for insurance! Once you’re approved, our team will notify you to coordinate the pickup or delivery of your vehicle!

Can I come in to see a vehicle?

No. All of our vehicles sit off site and we only have pre-reserved vehicles in our garage.


We would need your subscription submitted and finalized before you can come to our location and pickup a vehicle. This is a requirement for security purposes! We are happy to assist you with photos of the vehicle before you come pick it up!

Why does it take a couple business days to be approved?

The 'approval process', also referred to as 'insurance registration', is the process that our team takes care of to get you eligible to drive any vehicle on our platform.


Traditionally, applying and registering for insurance can be a time intensive process, however with Roam, our team takes care of that for you! Within 3 business days, you'll be all setup to begin driving your vehicle subscription.


With your one submission, we take care of the administration to get you eligible to drive your vehicle of choice, as well as over 180+ other models in our fleet! Compared to the traditional insurance or rental car process, you save time upfront with our best pre-negotiated rate, right from the start.

Does verifying my identity affect my credit score?

No. None of the background checks we conduct impact your credit score or driving record. We conduct routine checks strictly for the purposes of verifying your identity and determining whether or not you're eligible to be covered by Roam's insurance policy.

Why don't rental car companies ask for my info up front?

Compared to a traditional rental car company, Roam asks for you to verify your account & identity up-front because it takes up to 3 business days to get you approved on the car you might select.


We offer a completely digital concierge and check-out experience, meaning the work is already done from the start. No lineups, no waiting, not disappointing experiences.

Why don't dealerships verify my identity?

They do! Dealerships will commonly ask for your government issued Driver's License before any test drive.


This is standard procedure, however it's also not the last time they will ask for it. Normally it is stored on a photocopier, or in a paper file in someone's desk until the end of time.


Then when it comes time to purchase a car, they will ask for a copy of your license again - makes you wonder - right?


With Roam, when you complete your account verification once, your account goes through an industry leading security check to ensure your records are safe, and you're ready to drive any vehicle within our fleet.

My Driver's License won't upload.

It is likely that the upload did go through, however it was declined in our system. Unfortunately, at the moment we can only accept an Ontario G licence for our vehicles. Check out our Driver requirements!


If you're trying to upload your Ontario G license but you are also having this issue, you might be submitting your license incorrectly. The first picture asks for the front of the license. The second picture asks for the back of the license. The final photo might ask for a selfie verification. Feel free to reach our support team for more assistance!

Am I committing to a car if I verify my identity?

You are not locked to a particular vehicle, plan, or term when you verify your identity.


The reason we ask for this information up front is so that we can save you time later on! Our team will never finalize your subscription request without you giving the final sign-off! We're just here to get you on the road as soon as possible!

Can I have my car delivered to me?

Roam provides optional valet delivery. For all 6 and 12 month plans, we will deliver your vehicle to you for free. For all other plans, there is a fee, depending on where you're located.


All fees are calculated based on your location relative to our location in Etobicoke.

  • 5 km away or less = $50
  • 5 to 25 km = $100
  • 25 to 50 km = $150

If you live farther than 50km from our office, you will have to come pick up your car from our location. Please note, we do not offer valet pickup or delivery from the airport due to scheduling challenges and flight delays!


Note: Free valet delivery for 6 and 12-month plans only applies to the delivery of your vehicle. If you'd like Roam to pick up your vehicle, you will be charged a fee according to the mileages and amounts listed above.

What happens if the car I want isn’t available?

When the vehicle you want isn’t available, our team will contact you and provide you with comparable options.

How far out can I reserve a vehicle?

Due to the high demand of our service and the popularity of some models, you may reserve a vehicle up to 3 days before your requested pickup date.

What can I expect when I pick up the vehicle / the vehicle is delivered to me?

Our team ensures your vehicle is in the best condition possible when you receive the vehicle! Upon arrival, they will give you a quick walk around the vehicle with full transparency and ensure you are comfortable with the new vehicle.


Your subscription starts on that day and you will be charged the discussed monthly fee.

Can I purchase additional coverage? What is RoamCare?

If you are planning for a 3-month plan, you are eligible for your extended RoamCare program!

Will my credit card insurance cover any damages?

If you incur any damage on the vehicle, we will send you an invoice to pay. 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.


Once you’ve paid for the damage, you can submit a claim with your credit card company to process and reimburse you for the bill.


For details, and all matters of reimbursement on invoices paid for by credit card, you must refer to your credit card provider.

What is considered wear and tear?

Where and 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.

If you paid for the fees but you still receive a charge from us, just let us know and provide the invoice.

How to I schedule a return?

We require at least 10 days of advanced noticed to schedule you in on your desired date and to ensure the best service possible. Failure to do so will not guarantee your desired time and can cause you to return past your renewal date, resulting in additional daily rate fees.


Last minute returns (less than 48 hours notice) are subject to a $250 restocking fee.


Get started with the return process

Call or text Roam's support team at 6473609640 to begin scheduling your return. Please have the following answers prepared:

  • Reason for your return - We appreciate your business and would love any feedback

  • New Damages
  • Mileage Overages

Failure to report any of the above may result in additional unforeseen charges during the offboarding process.


Cleaning your vehicle

  • All personal belongings should be removed
  • All garbage and trash should be removed
  • If your vehicle is returned with interior stains, odors, bodily fluids, or pet hair we will charge you a deep cleaning fee of $250

  • Note that interior damage like rips, tears or scratches are treated as car damage


Gas level

  • When you return the vehicle, the fuel level should be at the same level when you received the vehicle. If we have to fill up the tank, we charge the customer the price per litre in the local market (meaning at a gas station in the area) on the day of refueling. This charge will be applied to the customer’s account.

Roam vehicles cannot be driven in the USA at this time. Roam vehicles must only be driven in the province of Ontario.

What if I go over my mileage?

If you happen to go over your mileage, we will charge you a $1 per km.
