Qualify for Access PLUS
To qualify for Access PLUS, the member must self-certify that their household income is 50% or less of the Area Median Income.
No paperwork or financial statements are required to be on this plan; the self-certification selection was designed to avoid many of the hassles normally associated with income-based programs.

All plans have a non-refundable $25 One-Time Registration Fee to process your driving history (unless a valid promo code is entered, which may adjust the $25 registration fee, or you self-certify for Access PLUS during your application, which will lower the registration fee to $1.) Those with international driving licenses should apply as normal, and if additional information is needed, we will reach out to you. HOURCAR does not charge additional fees to process non-Minnesotan driving licenses.
All fees are non-refundable. All charges are subject to taxes (see footer). Driving credit cannot be used to pay state and local taxes or fees. Qualified tax-exempt organizations should contact us to apply an exemption.
