Dealing With Issues & HyreCar Support<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nIdeally, your time as a HyreCar owner is mostly a fun exercise in passive earnings. However, if you encounter issues, you should know what to do.<\/p>\n
Firstly, driver's are responsible for reporting damages. Driver's also follow up with Lyft, Uber, and any third party claims. Whatever the case, if your vehicle is damaged, you file a claim with HyreCar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Once you file a claim, a “representative will be assigned to your case and contact you to guide you through the claims process. <\/span>Damage claim cases on average take 2 to 8 weeks to process and reach a settlement.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nYou also have to act fast. According to HyreCar, “<\/span>Owners have up to 24 hours after the return of the vehicle to file a claim on any damages that occurred on the vehicle during the specific rental period.”<\/p>\nThis is the same requirement as companies like Turo, so ensure you take photos, inspect your car, and process claims quickly.<\/p>\n
Other HyreCar Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\nOne good way to verify if a side hustle idea<\/a> is worth it or not is to read reviews and testimonials from other people. And the great news is that there are plenty of HyreCar reviews on forums like Trustpilot where gig workers and vehicle owners share their experiences.<\/p>\nFor starters, the company has a 3.5 out of 5 star rating on Trustpilot<\/a>. Here's what some recent reviews are saying:<\/p>\n\n- Azeezat Olayiwola says<\/strong>: “HyreCar is not the company to list your vehicle with. HyreCar let's drivers owe you money and do nothing, I have different people owing me over a year and still not paid.”<\/li>\n
- Rahul Majumder says<\/strong>: “Do not use HyreCar. All it takes is an accident or damage to your car. HyreCar lets the renters walk away when they inflict damage to your car. My car was damaged by the driver in 1400$. HyreCar uses the insurance which has 3K or more deductible, but when the driver is at fault, they should charge the driver regardless of the deductible limit or help us in the process.”<\/li>\n
- Dos Pistola says<\/strong>: “Everything went smooth and easy from the pick up, drop off, and the pay.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can also find a lot of mixed reviews on Reddit and similar forums. Some people report making great side income with HyreCar, either as a driver or vehicle owner, and many are happy with customer service.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, you also see a lot of negative reviews relating to the damage claims process. And some people complain that drivers accumulate tickets or fines but never end up paying them, so the vehicle owner gets stuck with the bill.<\/p>\n
As always, checking what other people have to say is a good idea if you're on the fence about using a certain service. For something as important as renting a car, this is even more critical.<\/p>\n
My advice is to see if someone you know in your city has used HyreCar and ask them about their experiences. And always read the terms and conditions of any car rental company you use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nPros & Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\nPros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Available across the U.S.<\/li>\n
- Lets you test the waters of the gig economy or subsidize your income if your vehicle breaks<\/li>\n
- Better revenue share than Turo<\/li>\n
- Vehicles have affordable daily rental prices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Margins are tight unless you book a HyreCar vehicle for a month to get a discount<\/li>\n
- Some negative reviews relating to damage claims or hosts getting stuck with fines and fees<\/li>\n
- You pay upfront for your rental<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Best HyreCar Alternatives<\/strong><\/h2>\nHyreCar is one of the only companies in the rideshare space focusing on gig workers using apps like DoorDash and Instacart<\/a>. However, it's far from your only option.<\/p>\nSeveral other HyreCar alternatives you can consider include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Turo<\/a><\/li>\n
- Getaround<\/a> (Getaround actually acquired HyreCar recently!)<\/li>\n
- Zipcar<\/a><\/li>\n
- Local car rental companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
As mentioned, you can also consider making money with a bike<\/a>, scooter, or even on foot depending on the gig app you use.<\/p>\nFor example, companies like Uber Eats and Grubhub<\/a> let you deliver food on foot in some markets. You can also check out Oppizi<\/a>, an app that pays you to walk<\/a> and deliver flyers.<\/p>\nFrequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\nHow Old Do You Have To Be To Use HyreCar?<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou must be 21 or older to use HyreCar.<\/p>\n
Does HyreCar Work With Lyft?<\/strong><\/h3>\nNo, HyreCar no longer works with Lyft since Lyft now works with Express Drive Now.<\/p>\n
Is HyreCar Legit?<\/strong><\/h3>\nYes, HyreCar is legit, and it's a quick option for gig workers to get back on the road if their vehicle is in the shop or if they don't have a car. However, it's not an amazing long-term solution because of monthly rental fees. And there are mixed reviews from vehicle owners about how much of a headache renting out your car can be.<\/p>\n
Is There A Mileage Limit On HyreCar?<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe minimum daily mileage limit on HyreCar is 250 miles but can be up to 1,000 miles per day. The vehicle owner chooses how many daily miles to allow.<\/p>\n
Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\nI honestly love the idea behind peer-to-peer marketplaces like HyreCar and Turo.<\/p>\n
After all, the gig economy does an excellent job at making things more affordable thanks to the simple power of supply and demand and cutting out corporations from the entire process.<\/p>\n
If you want to test out gig work or need a quick rental, HyreCar can work quite well. And for vehicle owners, it's a way to potentially earn money on autopilot<\/a> while you're not using your car.<\/p>\nHowever, you have <\/em>to factor in rental fees and gas into your earnings if you're a gig worker. And I wouldn't suggest vehicle owners use HyreCar with their only vehicle.<\/p>\nIf you have experience using HyreCar, I'd love to hear about it in the comments!<\/p>\n
