Which Plan Is Right for You?
Roam offers two plan types: Short-Term (7 to 29 days) and Long-Term (30 days or longer). Short-Term plans are pay-upfront with higher daily rates, while Long-Term plans offer lower rates, exact model selection, and auto-renewing payments. The comparison below covers the key differences.
Short-Term Plans Are Best If
- You need a vehicle for 7 to 29 days
- You have a fixed use period with an exact start and end date
- You prefer to use your own insurance coverage through a credit card or personal policy
- You are comfortable paying a higher rate to prioritize short-term use
- You want to be opted out of auto-renewing payments
Long-Term Plans Are Best If
- You want a vehicle for at least 30 days
- You prefer the flexibility to drive as long as you need without setting an end date
- You prefer to use Roam's insurance coverage (available at an additional cost)
- You prefer the ease of auto-renewing payments
- You want access to reduced rates exclusive to long-term use
- You want the flexibility to end your rental anytime after your minimum 30-day term (with proper cancellation notice)
- You want the option to pay an enrollment fee to unlock lower payments for 3, 6, 12+ months
