Paying for your trip
What you actually pay, how the security deposit hold works, and where refunds and receipts show up.
What makes up your trip total
Your total is the host's price for your dates, plus any delivery and add-ons you chose, plus tax. FanCars adds no renter service fee.
Payment methods
You pay by card at checkout. The same card covers your deposit hold, any extension, and post-trip charges, so keep it valid until the trip is settled.
Security deposits
Every trip carries a refundable security deposit: your own insurance deductible plus $500. FanCars sets it, not the host, and it is a hold rather than a charge.
Refunds
Refunds go back to the card you paid with, usually within 5 to 10 business days. How much comes back depends on why the trip changed.
How FanScore changes your price
FanScore is a driver safety rating from 300 to 850. Scores in the middle pay the host's plain rate, higher scores pay less, and lower scores pay more.
Credits and promo codes
Credits sit on your account and come off your next trip total automatically. A promo code goes in at checkout; a referral code is redeemed in your account.
Receipts and invoices
Once a trip is finished or canceled, View receipt on its card opens an itemized receipt you can print or save as a PDF.
