Too expensive now
February 10, 2020

I have a car with Fair now (had it about 10 months) The app is really easy to use and they are efficient and the idea is great; but... The prices have gone up ENORMOUSLY in the last few months. The deposits required are now $thousands - as much as a new car. The payments have increased too

Is it a loan or a rental
February 9, 2020

I think fair is definitely deceiving their customers they say it's not a loan and that it's not a rental I think it is you don't get a new car you get used cars and everyone you want to get a different car you have to pay a $500 fee that adds up you can just get a better car at a cheaper price this app is horrible

My First Experience
February 18, 2020

When my father first told me about Fair i was ECSTATIC! It took me about 3 weeks to get the car i had been waiting for. It was almost like waking up everyday to gamble. Then lose the car and start over again. Imagine the anxiety! I was finally paired with a car

I would never use this service again and would strongly recommend against using it. It has been endless frustration at every turn. I have never spent so much time in customer service hell just to get the promised services from a company. Every step of the way - whether vehicle selection

Ride Share account
February 24, 2020

I leased a car for ride share use only. I was in an accident. And while car was in need of repair. I was charged lease payment while car was in the body shop. Insurance refused to cover lease payments. Fair was not willing to provide relief from weekly payments. Poor customer service. Account was placed in collections and jeopardized my perfect credit rating. This company will also really get you on wear and tear. This company is a joke and should be investigated. Buyer beware big time. Find other options!

Denied for?
February 27, 2020

I heard about this app. Decided to try it out because I had transportation issues. It immediately asks for a lot of information but no real explanations. Gave my info and each screen says "this is not a credit check. It will not affect your credit". I hit submit and was denied with no explanation. Now they have my info for...?

Everything sounds great just 1 year after I signed up with them they will increase my insurance almost $250 ADDITIONAL PER MONTH! So thats where the big lie hide. Yes for 1 year it was great but after that you ended payment for the car $440 and then $320 for "insurance" what a ripoff. And you lose your $1800! Really? DONT DO IT! Almost $10K a year for a car that you have to returned and dont have even the freedom to drive more than 10K miles a year! RIPOFF!"

The app does not work
April 10, 2020

The app doesn't work to its very best. After I put my phone number in I get an error message saying I'm not quite qualified yet due to the lack of information I cannot input because the app lacks that capability of this function

If I can give 0 stars I would. I've never felt more ripped off and taken advantage of than by this company. I returned my car and got an excessive damage claim for $1

I have been using a fair vehicle for the past 7 months and it has been such a relief to know that I can hand in my vehicle whenever I want. That being said

I've been trying to get my account approved for over 5 months now. All I receive every single time is the same excuse that the documents I submitted were not received by their accounts team. How can an e-mail not be delivered to their team despite trying 4 different times? A lot of roaming around in circles and here I am 5 months later still where I started from. The team conveniently forgets to respond to my emails

Was initially a very happy customer. After getting over billed by $100/month for 3 months in a row (been a customer since December of 2017 your execution was sorely lacking. To be clear I do not lay blame with the customer service reps here. So far as I can tell they have not been provided the tools to give proper service to their customers this is a serious mismanagement/systems design problem."

Doing a great job

From the business

Fair is a new way to get a used car that lets you lease a pre-owned vehicle completely digitally – and for as long as you want. Use your phone or the web to shop cars with monthly payments that fit your budget, get approved in-app, sign for the one you want with your finger, then drive it month-to-month for ultimate flexibility, or on a 2-year or 3-year lease if you want the best value.
