Variable (depends on how long the car is available – which depends on the length of the owner’s travel), with the maximum length of rental determined by state law (e.g., for Florida, 30 days or less). Based on our primary market research and other sources, the average length of rental will likely be 3-5 days.

Vehicles will be maintained by car owners and not by Kodacars, especially as we are targeting vehicles for car-sharing that are available for rental for 3 days to 3 weeks per year. We require that owners attest that their vehicles are well-maintained, and we check that vehicles do not have any open recalls. We do not yet require any maintenance records.

Before the vehicle is marked as available on the platform, we check that the vehicle does not have any open recalls. Vehicles are thus rechecked every time the owner travels (i.e., if a customer lists their car for Jan 20-27, and then again wants to list their car in February for their next trip, the car will be checked for open recalls before each listing).

Currently, we are not allowing commercial use (assuming this does not include business travellers renting for standard use, e.g., attending a conference).

Kodacars simplifies car sharing by connecting borrowers with local car owners. We take care of the car exchange, cleaning, inspection, and insurance processes, making it easy for both parties. Borrow or share a car at any of our neighborhood locations in Miami and Orlando.

Kodacars has multiple convenient sharing locations in Miami and Orlando. You can choose the location that suits you best for picking up and dropping off your vehicle.

To drive a KodaCar, you must meet a few requirements. You need to be 21 years or older and hold a valid U.S. driver’s license (probationary and provisional licenses are not accepted). Additionally, you should have a clean driving record and a valid credit card for making reservations (debit cards are not accepted).

For a seamless experience, we kindly ask that you to make car bookings and modifications at least 4 hours before your desired pick-up time. This allows our dedicated staff to ensure your vehicle is prepared and ready for you.

To ensure fair usage and availability for all customers, there is a daily mileage limit of 150 miles. For example, on a 3-day trip, you can travel up to 450 miles without incurring any additional charges. However, if the total mileage exceeds the limit, an extra fee of $0.50 per mile will apply. To accurately track the mileage, we record the odometer reading before and after your trip. This policy helps us maintain the quality and affordability of our service.

Kodacars strives for transparency and minimal extra fees. While drivers under 25, adding a second driver, and canceling before the reservation start time incur no additional charges, a general insurance fee applies. Adherence to our Borrower Rules is crucial to avoid fees for smoking, unauthorized pets, vehicle damage, unauthorized drivers, excessive wear and tear, or returning with less fuel. We prioritize fairness and open communication for a positive car-sharing experience.

Kodacars ensures the safety of its vehicles through stringent criteria. To be listed on our platform, cars must be under 10 years old and have fewer than 125,000 miles (about 201168 km). We only accept vehicles with automatic transmissions, no open recalls, and no major cosmetic or significant interior/exterior damage. These measures guarantee that you can enjoy a safe and reliable car-sharing experience with Kodacars.

Adding a second driver to your Kodacars reservation is easy and free. Once your booking is confirmed, simply have the additional driver create a Kodacars account and upload their driver’s license. Then, contact our support team through chat or SMS, and we will add the person to your reservation. This allows both drivers to enjoy the convenience and flexibility of using the car during your rental period.

We cannot guarantee a vehicle will have all-wheel drive, but since we only offer cars that are less than 10 years old, many of our SUVs come equipped. If you’d like to borrow a car with four-wheel drive, just reserve a midsize or large SUV and then chat with Kodacars support with your preference. We will do our best to fulfil your request.
