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.
*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.

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. Driving credit cannot be used to pay state and local taxes or fees.. Qualified tax-exempt organizations will need to report taxes paid for state and federal reimbursement.
Effective March 31, 2023, HOURCAR will be adjusting rates and membership plans to address system demands and overall increased expenses, including operational costs, fuel costs, and vehicle replacement needs. These rate adjustments primarily impact the HOURCAR service. There will also be a small adjustment to the Evie Carshare day rate; Evie per-minute and hourly rates will remain the same.
