Your monthly plan includes rates for both HOURCAR and Evie Carshare. You are only charged one monthly plan fee for both services, but rates between the two services are different based on one-way and round-trip costs.

A business account is a great way to group multiple people under the same payment structure, billed monthly.

Damage Fee Waivers

*A Damage Fee Waiver can be used to waive a member’s damage fee for an incident that results in “at-fault” vehicle damage to an HOURCAR. HOURCAR members are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy, with no out-of-pocket costs for all “not-at-fault” damages to HOURCARs. Purchasing a damage fee waiver does not affect this insurance coverage; however, if you cause “at-fault” damage to an HOURCAR, you will be assessed a damage fee of up to $1,000 to cover the cost of repairs—unless you have a valid damage fee waiver. The organization is responsible for payment to HOURCAR for any “at-fault” damage caused on their account.

How It Works

1. Sign up for a business account. Make sure that you select the proper Admin, as they’ll be in charge. Adding a Damage Fee Waver is a great recommendation to waive the $1,000 at-fault fee in the event of a crash. 

2. Apply as an admin. Once your organization is set up, you’ll receive an invite to create an individual account that will be linked the business account. If you intend to be an admin only and do not intend to drive a vehicle yourself, let us know and we can waive the driver’s license requirement. We’ll process your profile in 1-3 business days and let you know when you’re set up as the admin.

3. Add a payment method. You will receive monthly invoicing for your organization that will charge automatically to the card on file. If you need payment via check instead, please contact Member Services for assistance.

4. Invite your team! The Admin can invite or remove team members and will receive monthly invoicing for your organization. Background checks typically take 1-3 business days to review, so invite sooner than later. 

5. Audit and review your teams activity. This is a helpful tool in case your team member forgot where they went last month, had an emergency service call, and more. 

HOURCAR
Works with Evie

It’s a twofer: when you sign up with HOURCAR, you also sign up with Evie. This gives you access to all-electric, one-way, free-floating carshare service with over 170 shared vehicles in the twin cities.

Remember Evie trips are one-way and HOURCAR trips are round-trip. You can reserve an HOURCAR up to 6 months in advance, allowing you to drive a Subaru to St. Cloud, get the Mitsubishi for that office relocation, or a Hyundai for those meetings in Rochester. If you’re staying in town, use Evie for a quick one-way trip. 

Setup a Business Account

All business accounts are billed on the first of every month to the credit card on-file. While we setup your account, we will contact you for your form of payment. If you’d prefer invoice and payment via ACH or check, please let us know at that time.
