QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about Roam
How is Roam different compared to a daily rental?
Roam specializes in long-term car rentals also known as car subscriptions. Roam's weekly and monthly plans are designed for long-term needs.
The vehicle is yours for as many weeks or months as you like - you don't have to book an end date until you're ready.
There are some other differences that make Roam special. For example, all of Roam's vehicles are the latest models from top brands, equipped with the newest technology. Every vehicle is professionally maintained and cleaned so it feels new. And we offer optional valet delivery to your home or office.
How is Roam different compared to leasing a car?
Roam's flexible weekly and monthly plans, also known as car subscriptions, come with all of the benefits of a lease but without the long-term contract or commitment.
Instead of locking into a 36 or 48 month contract, you can drive for as many weeks or months as you like and simply return your vehicle when you don't need it anymore.
Roam also includes routine maintenance, roadside assistance, and other perks with your vehicle, giving you all the benefits of driving your own vehicle without the hassles.
What's included with my vehicle?
Your Roam vehicle includes routine maintenance like oil changes, 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, and dedicated support.
You have the option to use Roam's auto insurance and have your vehicle delivered to your home or office for additional fees.

How long can I drive for?
Whether you choose a weekly or monthly plan, you have the freedom to keep the vehicle for as long as you need.

Can I use Roam for my business?
