Can I book a car today?

Does Levy add fees to the host's price?

No. Drivers pay the host's price plus tax. Levy adds no trip fees, service fees, markups, or protection charges on top, and never uses personalized pricing. The host's price is the daily rate times the days booked, plus any delivery fee the host sets, less any host discount. Levy's commission comes out of that price, and hosts see their exact earnings before they accept a trip. Some car sharing apps add trip fees, protection charges, and deposits on top of the host's price, so renters pay more than the host's listed rate. Levy does not.

What do I need to rent a car?

Drivers must be 21 or older, hold a valid driver's license, verify their identity, and pass a driving-record check with no reported moving-violation convictions and no active suspension. Only the named driver may drive. You also need a payment method, and you sign a short trip agreement for each booking. There is no security deposit.

How do I get into the car?

Once your booking is confirmed and your checks are complete, you get a link that unlocks the car during your trip window. At pickup you photograph the car, odometer, and fuel level, then unlock with your phone. There is no counter and no key to collect.

Is there a security deposit?

No. Levy never charges a security deposit or places a hold on your card for damage, on any trip. New York law prohibits deposits and holds for damage in peer-to-peer car sharing.

Does the Manhattan congestion toll apply to shared cars?

Yes. Since January 5, 2025, vehicles entering Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone, south of and including 60th Street, pay a toll. It applies to shared cars like any other car and is handled like any other toll on the trip.

What protection is there for hosts and drivers?

Hosts: Pick a protection plan for each car: keep 70% of the trip price with $250 of damage responsibility per claim, 80% with $1,500, or 90% with $2,750. The plan applies to trips booked while it is selected. Above your damage responsibility, Levy reimburses eligible physical damage to your car during a trip: the repair cost, or the car's actual cash value up to $200,000 if it is a total loss. This is Levy's contractual protection, not insurance. It does not cover normal wear and tear, mechanical failure, diminished value, or lost hosting income. Drivers: you don't buy a protection plan, and there is no deposit. New York law limits what a driver can owe for damage to a shared car: at most the lesser of the actual, reasonable repair cost or the car's fair market value before the damage. No loss-of-use or administrative fees, and normal wear and tear is excluded.
