If you’re considering Flexcar, one of the most common questions is:
What does the membership include, and how does it work?
Here’s the simple answer: a Flexcar membership unlocks a fully bundled car experience with fewer surprises, more flexibility, and built-in savings.
What is a Flexcar membership?
As a Flexcar member, you pay an annual fee ($249/year) that unlocks the full Flexcar experience.
It’s separate from your monthly car payment and gives you access to:
Maintenance and service coverage
Gas savings
Roadside assistance
Vehicle swaps and flexibility
Loyalty rewards and additional savings
Think of it like a membership that gives you access to the Flexcar fleet, plus the flexibility and benefits that come with it, similar to Amazon Prime or Costco.
When do you pay the membership fee?
You don’t pay the membership fee upfront.
Your first 2 weeks are a trial period
Your monthly vehicle payment still applies during this time
If you keep your car after 14 days, the membership fee is charged
If you return your car during the trial, you won’t be charged the membership fee
What this means: You have 14 days to experience Flexcar and make sure the car and service are right for you before committing to the annual membership.
What’s included in a Flexcar membership?
1. Preventative and routine maintenance — covered
Maintenance is one of the most unpredictable parts of owning a car. With your Flexcar membership, coverage includes:
Oil changes and filter replacements
Tire rotations, replacements, and brake service
Fluid checks and top-offs
Battery and general vehicle inspections
Other routine service to keep your car running smoothly
These costs can easily add up to $500–$1,000+ per year with traditional ownership.
What this means: No surprise repair bills or out-of-pocket maintenance costs.
2. Built-in gas savings with Flexcar Gas Saver™
Fuel is one of the biggest ongoing costs of driving, but Flexcar helps reduce it.
With Gas Saver:
Save 20–30¢ per gallon at participating stations
As your loyalty tier increases, savings can reach up to 60¢ per gallon
Savings are automatically applied to your next bill
No sign-up required, it’s built into your membership
What this means: Ongoing savings every time you fill up, not just a one-time benefit.
3. 24/7 roadside assistance — always included
Unexpected issues happen between flat tires, to dead batteries and lockouts.
Flexcar covers:
Towing
Jump-starts
Flat tire assistance
Lockout support
What this means: You’re never stuck dealing with emergencies on your own.
4. The flexibility to swap or return your car
This is one of the biggest differences from traditional ownership.
With Flexcar, your membership unlocks:
The ability to swap vehicles when your needs change
The ability to return your car at any time
No multi-year contracts. No being stuck with the wrong car.
What this means: Your car can adapt as your life changes, not the other way around.
5. Loyalty rewards and additional savings
Flexcar members can unlock additional benefits over time:
Increased gas savings (up to 60¢/gal)
Discounted or free vehicle swaps
Up to 50% off annual membership
Additional membership perks
What this means: The longer you stay, the more value you get.
What your monthly payment covers (separate from membership)
Your monthly payment is different from your membership.
It covers:
Vehicle & mileage plan
Insurance
Taxes
Key takeaway:
Membership = access + benefits
Monthly payment = the cost of the specific car you’re driving
Why Flexcar is structured this way
Flexcar is designed to simplify the traditional model of car ownership.
Instead of paying separately for insurance, maintenance, repairs and roadside assistance, many of those costs are bundled into a single experience, with the flexibility to adjust as your needs change.
You still have a car, just without the upfront costs, multi-year constraints and unpredictability that typically come with it.
