To create the best experience for everyone, we do not make exceptions: all owners must have a valid, unrestricted US driver's license, and all vehicles must meet the following criteria:

For Avail Plus members only: Avail provides comprehensive coverage for all Avail Plus owners. Avail also does not require that you have comprehensive and/or collision coverage on your vehicle. If you remove your vehicle from the platform for any reason, Avail’s insurance policy will no longer provide coverage.

If you remove a vehicle from the platform or cancel your listing, you will receive all bonuses earned for the days your vehicle was listed. If you choose to re-share your vehicle at a later date, previous days shared will not apply to future bonuses, and you will begin earning bonuses starting from 0 days listed.

If a vehicle is enrolled in Avail Plus, you are eligible to receive an Avail Rental Credit valid toward borrowing* any vehicle on the Avail platform:  

Once you have earned an Avail Rental Credit, it will automatically be applied to your borrowed vehicle at checkout. 

Credits are valid indefinitely. If you remove your vehicle from the program your Credits will still be valid for borrowing a car with Avail.

*All owners are subject to our borrower risk assessment prior to booking a vehicle with Avail and using the borrower credit

Owners may choose if they would like to have a qualifying third-party inspection to receive complimentary routine maintenance coverage. 

Owners who choose not to receive an inspection can still share their car, but they will receive no routine maintenance coverage.

For vehicles that have passed an Avail-approved third-party inspection, Avail will cover routine maintenance including topping off fluids, oil changes, filling up air in tires, wiper blade replacement, battery replacement, tire rotations, tire replacements, fuse and light bulb replacements. 

Avail will only cover “High Mileage” maintenance if the vehicle has accrued 15,000 miles or more while enrolled in the Avail Plus program. “High Mileage” maintenance includes, and is limited to, brake changes, transmission replacement, and repairs to broken A/C or heat.

You will be responsible for scheduling and bringing the car to and from Pep Boys. You will need to tell Pep Boys you are receiving an inspection for Avail. You are also responsible for the cost of the inspection, which is $49.99.

Currently third-party inspections can only be performed by Pep Boys. We are working to add more partners and expand ways to receive a qualified inspection.

If your vehicle fails the third-party inspection, you will need to take care of the existing issue with the vehicle and provide documentation that they were fixed before sharing with Avail.

If your vehicle receives and passes the third-party inspection, maintenance coverage will begin on the listing start date.
