Prepaid Smart Plans

These smart options offer prepaid hours at a discounted rate.

plan	per hour value *	prepay	duration	hours/month*




Smart Freedom	$7.75	$775	12 months	8



Smart Plus	$8.00	$400	12 months	4



Smart Basic	$8.75	$ 95	6 months	2

*Average number of hours per month.

How do the Prepaid Plans work?

You prepay the full cost of the plan fee up front. Every hour you drive is calculated at $7.75 - $8.75 per hour (depending on your plan). At the end of the month, we'll add up your total hourly driving costs and deduct them from your prepaid balance.

Your plan expires after 6 or 12 months with no carryover.

Monthly Mobility Plans

These monthly plans will get you moving in a snap! When you use a car in a given month, we credit the fee back to you

plan	per hour value	monthly fee




Motion 35	$8.50	$35



Motion 15	$8.75	$15



Motion 4	$9.25	$ 4

How do the Monthly Mobility Plans work?

Every month you pay a monthly plan fee and you pay for the hours you've reserved. Your monthly plan fee is credited back to you if you've driven*.

For example: Pat is on the Motion 15 plan and drove 3.5 hours this month.

Motion 15 Plan fee (current month)	$15
Usage fees (previous month): 3.5 hrs X $8.75/hr	$30.63
Motion 15 Plan Fee (previous month)	-$15.00
Total Due	$30.63

*Your driving total must be of equal value or greater than the monthly fee to receive your full credit.

Special Rates

When you use a car late at night or for a day trip, these special rates automatically take the place of your prepaid or monthly membership per hour rate value.

rate	cost	terms




Insomniac Rate	$3 per hour	12am - 7 a.m.



Daily Rate	$75 per day *	24 hours



Mini Cooper Premium	$1/hour **	in addition standard hourly rates

*Reservations may not last more than 3 days. The first 100 miles of your trip are free. You pay $0.48/mile for additional miles.

** Because of higher maintenance and gas costs, there is a $1/hour Premium for the Mini Cooper. This Premium is added to the member's current hourly rate when using the Cooper. We will waive the Cooper Premium as an extra benefit of purchasing a Smart Prepaid Plan.
