Plan FAQ

How long can I take a car?

Take a car for a few hours or a few days. Upshift is built for convenience and flexibility.

What counts as "1 day"?

1 day is any period up to 24 hours, even if that period crosses midnight. Book with our app or by texting us during operating hours (8-4pm).

Do I have to use all of my days on one trip?

Drive whenever you want. Days don't need to be consecutive.

When does my billing cycle start?

Plans renew 1 month after your activation date (set on sign up), rather than the calendar month. If you sign up for Upshift on the 8th, for example, your billing cycle will always start on the 8th of the month. You set your start date during sign up.

Can I share a plan?

Yes, plans can be shared, but only with your significant other or partner for $49/month. This is the only way to have another driver fully insured to use our vehicles.

Can I join with an international driver’s license?

Sure can! International and domestic members are all welcome.

What if I want to drive for more days than my plan allows?

Additional days beyond your plan cost $89 (Flexcommuter), $99 (Freedom) or $109 (Getaway). Unused days also roll over 1 month so you can build up days for that big road trip!

Is there a minimum commitment?

Nope! You can cancel any time with 30 days notice. If this goes into another billing cycle, then your plan will cancel after the end of that new billing cycle. Any unused days will expire once your subscription ends. Plan upgrades or downgrades have a 3 month minimum commitment.

Can I try Upshift to see if I like it?

We'd hate to see anyone go but you can always email support@upshiftcars.com to request to cancel. We require 30 days notice for cancellations. If this goes into another billing cycle, then your plan will cancel after the end of that new billing cycle. Any unused days will expire once your subscription ends. If you restart your membership more than 1 year after cancelling, you will be subject to a new activation fee. You can also pause your membership for $49/month to retain your days and then restart when you are ready with no reactivation fee.

What is the start fee?

This is a one time non-refundable $299 fee to get you started with Upshift. This is your fraction of the cost of the down payment to add a car to the platform and also covers your driver background check for our full coverage insurance plan. This is a one-time fee separate from your monthly payment.

What kind of cars are available?

Swap between a Toyota Prius and a Toyota RAV4 hybrid SUV - our core fleet. Two cars for (less than) the price of one and you don't have to worry about storage or cleaning and maintenance! All of our cars are upgraded hybrid models with similar specs and trim so you always feel like you are driving “your” car. New for 2023, we're launching an EV pilot with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model 3.

Is there a mileage limit?

All plans come with unlimited miles.

"Spending $700-1,300/month to own a car in the city doesn’t make sense from a value standpoint. Most folks only need a car about once a week."
