Hiyacar - UK Car Sharing - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Hire a local car by the hour or the day in the UK with the Hiyacar car-sharing app. Hiyacar aims to change local mobility by providing drivers and renters with a car when and where they want one.

Founded in 2014, Hiyacar is the UK's longest trading peer-to-peer car-sharing platform operating with over 180,000 members throughout the country. The smart service allows car owners to make money by renting their cars to a vetted community of drivers. Since 2020, Hiyacar is also an accredited CoMoUK car club and now hosts a myriad of local community car clubs & property developers car-sharing schemes (S106). Since 2022, Hiyacar has also started offering a pool car-sharing platform for NHS trusts. This doesn't only make better use of some of the 38 million vehicles that sit idle for 95% of the time, but also turns personal cars into assets whilst reducing ownership.

Our app is the future of local car hire and car-sharing, letting you hire cars direct from people in your neighbourhood instantly, using our unique keyless technology. Say goodbye to key handovers: our keyless QuickStartTM solution allows for instant local car hire, letting hirers securely book, unlock, and start cars from their phone. Choose from a wide range of vehicles, from your local city car, premium cars, vans, or 7-seaters.

Hiyacar's technology is trusted all around the UK. Our platform is used by local community car clubs, professional rental companies, local businesses, your neighbours, and even NHS trusts to enable quick, safe, and convenient car-sharing in Greater London, Bristol, Brighton, Edinburgh, Oxfordshire, Swale, Norfolk, & Suffolk.

Hiyacar is operating as a car club for the London boroughs of Islington, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Hackney, and the cities of Bristol, & Oxford. We also have cars in Southwark, Wandsworth, Greenwich, Lambeth, Newham, Camden, & Haringey. From N16 to SW16, search, book, drive.

Good app

Air bnb for cars Can you make it more simple to see what I paid for a book please. Or where invoices are kept, or something

STAY AWAY

Especially from the auto lock vehicles. The Bluetooth connection WILL fail and you WILL need to speak to customer service over live chat every time you want to start the engine. They do not take 3 mins to get back to you, they take an hour each time.

No luck with hiring a van - problems with app and vendors

I signed up and paid the fee to check over documentation. When it actually came to hiring a van, one of the vendors was sending me messages that I couldn’t read (just kept getting notifications that he’d sent a message, but could not see any text), and the other vendor told me it was too short notice to book the van, despite him having the van available to book. I gave up in the end and just went to Enterprise. Waste of a tenner.

Waste of time

Booked a hire in St Andrews to pick up as I got off sleeper train early morning, only to receive a notification at 4am that the booking was cancelled. Tried to book another but this was never responded to by the owner. So left with no car at all. Suggest booking via a bigger company if you want to guarantee to get a car. It also took several attempts contacting them to get the refund paid 10 days later.

First Hiya Try

I would recommend Rosalind as a helpful owner having helped with the quick start process of the car and her car itself which is super fuel efficient!

Fantastic experience

Not A Good Customer Service

It first charges the money, then identifies the person. And if you cannot get identified, there is no refund. There’s refund on almost literally on anything, this is a neat way to scam. I have my license from another country for 14 years, I’m just waiting for my UK license to arrive, it’s on the post and I have the paper certificate, I’m still told that I cannot be identified and cannot be refunded. Is this how this company makes money? Very unprofessional.

Ridiculous policy!

To cut it short, I was able to register and rent out with zipcar with my current situation regarding 1. I cancel my insurance after i lost my car before due to car accident because or mechanical issue and never bought a new one again at the moment. Judgemental policies. Zipcar is way better and easier to rent out. I also don’t have issues renting out from sixt or any care rental companies. Hiyacar is acting like they are “so well known car rental company” for this over the top crappy policies. Disgusting.

Scam dont pay your money will go

I had to pay money to make an account which gets added as credit but nobody responds on the app so essentially that credit is worthless as you cannot book a car. I got scammed and its non refundable.
