The driver is covered under Envoy's state minimum insurance policy which can be found here. The driver must download the "Envoy There" car sharing app and fully register (upload drivers license, accept terms and conditions, etc) to be covered. If driver is not at fault for accident, Envoy will file the claim with other driver who is at fault. If driver is at fault, basic deductible may apply. If a driver is in an accident, general insurance card can be found in the vehicle as well as this page.

Can I take the car as long as I want?

Answer

You can book an Envoy electric vehicle for as little or as long as you want.

Please note, there are also select weekly subscription programs piloting in select areas. Questions?
