This seems too good to be true. What's the catch?
We get it. It’s not often that things are both simpler and a really good deal. But with GO, there’s no catch, just a better business model. By removing all the things that add cost and frustration to traditional car ownership, we can offer low monthly payments and a much better experience. No brick and mortar. No stressful negotiations. No hidden fees.
How does GO make it so easy?
GO streamlines the car acquisition process through innovative technology and data management. By removing unnecessary overheads, we offer superior service at a fraction of the cost.
What are the eligibility requirements?
To be eligible, you must have ALL the following:

  • Valid U.S. driver’s license (no temporary or short-term licenses accepted)
  • Generally clean driving record
  • A permanent driver's license in the state where the vehicle is picked up or delivered
  • At least 25 years old
  • Verifiable source of income (proof of income may be needed)

Please note: Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee approval. GO evaluates many factors and exceptions cannot be made.

In most cases we don’t ask for any kind of security deposit. But in some cases, depending on the evaluation process, a fully refundable security deposit may be required. This security deposit is totally refundable if the vehicle is returned without damage, unpaid charges, mileage overage, or excess wear and tear.

GO does not accept the following:

  • Derogatory or limited credit
  • Temporary Visas or Permits
  • Ride-share use
  • Co-signers
  • Getting a car for someone else
Are the vehicles new?
The vehicles are new when we acquire them and come to our customers in the same condition, we receive them (‘new to you’). You’re the first customer to drive it. The vehicles are not demos or former daily rental.

Some vehicles returned early by another customer may be made available on the GO website. In those cases, those vehicles will be noted as such.
Who is GO best for?
GO is perfect for anyone looking to get the right car for their monthly budget. Traditional vehicle financing usually requires a large down payment and other upfront fees. And with a lot of auto loans extending to more than 70 months, customers can end up underwater on their vehicle, owing more than it’s worth. With GO, there isn’t a huge down payment, and no burden of ownership.
Why do you need my driver's license?
Your driver's license enables us to verify your identity and eligibility by checking your Motor Vehicle Record (MVR).
What documents are required for application?
When applying, you'll need to provide a photo of your valid U.S. driver’s license. Additionally, proof of income (e.g., recent pay stubs) or proof of residence (e.g., utility bill within the last 30 days) may be requested.
What happens if I reserve a car and change my mind?
You can cancel your reservation with no penalty up to 72 hours from when your reservation was confirmed unless it is within 24 hours of scheduled delivery or pickup. Late cancellations forfeit the first month's payment and one-time $299 program fee.
Can I use a co-signer?
At present, we cannot accept co-signers. Each customer must meet GO’s individual eligibility requirements.
Is there a security deposit?
In most cases, we don’t ask for any kind of security deposit.

However, depending on the evaluation process, a fully refundable security deposit may be required. This security deposit is completely refundable as long as the vehicle is returned without damage, unpaid charges, mileage overage, or excess wear and tear.

We use security deposits instead of increasing the monthly payment. This approach is fair and simple: instead of a $50-100 monthly increase to your payment (money you'd never get back), you provide a fully refundable security deposit to secure the lowest payment available.
Will you run a credit check?
Yes, we do a soft credit check and other evaluations to confirm eligibility. This will have no impact on your credit score.
Is roadside assistance included?
Most cars come with standard roadside assistance through the vehicle manufacturer, covering services such as towing, battery jump start, flat tire change or inflation, gas delivery (varies by make) and lock-out service.
How are coupons or promotions applied to my bills?
Coupons are applied in increments of up to $125 per payment and only to vehicle monthly payments. Coupons, promotions, and discounts only apply to vehicle monthly payments and do not apply to other payments such as vehicle reservation deposits or one-time charges.
What is the Florida state surcharge I was billed for?
The Florida State Surcharge is a tax. The State of Florida charges a $2 per day tax on all rentals and leases for the for first 30 days a consumer has a single vehicle.

This is a one-time charge and would only be charged again if you changed vehicles.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards and ACH (bank transfer) payments. Credit card payments incur a 2.99% processing fee.
How does the referral program work?
For each successful referral, both parties receive a $250 credit applied to their accounts within 90 days of the referred customer's vehicle delivery.
Is there a late payment charge?
Yes, late payments incur a $25 per day fee. Payments that are returned or declined for insufficient funds are assessed a $25 fee. All fees are plus tax.
How much is tax?
Your tax is based on local tax rates in your zip code. For example, if the local total tax rate is 6% and your monthly payment for the car is $349, your monthly tax payment is $20.94
When do I make my first payment?
Your first monthly payment is due upfront when you reserve your vehicle. This payment will include your car, tax, one-time program fee, and any other charges (if applicable).

All subsequent payments are automatically charged monthly from the date you receive your car. In the event your payment date falls on a holiday or a weekend, you might be charged a day or two early.

Your billing cycle begins the day you receive your car.
When are my monthly payments due?
Your first month's payment is due in advance. All following payments are automatically charged monthly from the date you receive your car. In the event your payment date falls on a holiday or a weekend, you might be charged a day or two early. Your billing cycle begins the day you receive your car.
Is there really zero down payment?
That's right! There’s never a down payment. When you order your car, you simply pay for your first month. Your billing cycle does not begin until you receive your car. Unlike traditional car financing, which requires non-refundable down payments, GO requires no down payment. The only “extra” payment is the one-time $299 program activation payment.

In some cases, depending on the evaluation process, a fully refundable security deposit may be required. This deposit is fully refundable if the vehicle is returned without damage, unpaid charges, mileage overage, or excess wear and tear.
What is the restocking fee?
If you decide the vehicle is no longer for you, simply give us 30 days' notice and pay the $999 restocking fee to return it. The restocking fee covers the normal and customary costs associated with a vehicle’s return
What is program Activation Fee?
We know no one likes “extra” charges. However, at GO we believe that being upfront and transparent is always the best though. The one-time $299 program Activation Fee covers your personalized onboarding experience and is the only extra fee you’ll pay to get your subscription started.
Is my car under warranty?
Yes, all our cars come with their full factory warranty.
How do I schedule routine maintenance?
You may also receive a notification from GO via My Account, email, or text. We will provide you with the information about the required service.

Sometimes your vehicle may notify you on the dashboard when it is time to have maintenance done. If this happens, please email us at service@drivego.com for assistance.
How does maintenance work?
Routine preventative maintenance is included with your subscription and is easy to take care of. You will have your maintenance done at a provider in your area that we have partnered with to keep the car healthy for the duration of your subscription.

GO pays for oil changes and tire rotations based on time or mileage as recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle you are driving. Also, if over time the tires or brakes need to be replaced because of normal wear, we’ll take care of that too!

Items that we don’t pay for are things like wiper blades, light bulbs, and other heavily used day to day items that vary on replacement timing due to climate and use.

Please don’t take the car to your local shop to have routine maintenance done as we do not reimburse for maintenance that is done outside of our partner network.
My car has a recall what should I do?
The safety of our customers and the health and reliability of our vehicles are top priorities. We monitor all active recalls associated with our vehicles. When we receive information that requires action to resolve a recall, we will notify you via email and/or text.

Once you have been notified of a recall, you will need to make an appointment at your nearest dealer to have the work completed. There is no charge to resolve recalls and you can make the appointment for a time that works best for you. Once the recall is complete, email a copy of the paperwork to service@drivego.com. All recalls need to be completed within thirty (30) days of being notified by GO (subject to parts availability by the manufacturer). More urgent recalls will be noted as such in our initial contact with you.
What happens if I get a ticket or toll?
Your subscription does not include payment for tolls or a toll transponder. You may use your own transponder in your subscribed vehicle. In the event you use a toll road and do not have a transponder, you are responsible for paying the toll. If GO receives notice of unpaid tolls while the vehicle is in your possession, you will be charged $7.95 for each calendar day when tolls are incurred at the highest undiscounted rate. The convenience fee is charged regardless of the amount of the toll(s). Other violations such as parking tickets will incur a $25 fee per violation.
What happens if my vehicle is towed?
Let’s hope that does not happen! But in the worst-case scenario, you are responsible for any fines and retrieval of the vehicle. Contact us at service@drivego.com if additional documentation is needed during the retrieval process.
How do I get a toll transponder?
Below are links to most major toll authorities. GO does not warrant that this represents all tolling agencies only that these are the most common ones in the markets where we do business.

E-ZPass
SunPass
NTTA
HCTRA
NC Quick Pass
Peach Pass
Is smoking permitted in GO vehicles?
Any evidence of smoking in our vehicles, such as burn marks or persistent smoke odor is considered excess wear and will be subject to an additional cleaning fee of $500.
Are pets allowed in GO vehicles?
Yes! But precautions should be taken to prevent damage or clean up after pets. Upon return of the vehicle, pet hair, odor, and dander still in the car will be considered excess wear and is subject to an additional cleaning fee of $500.

If pets cause tears, scratches, or stains that cannot be removed in interior fabric, these will incur repair fees as they are often difficult and expensive to repair. In general cuts, tears and rips on the floor mats are considered normal. But cuts, tears, and rips on the carpet, upholstery or interior fabrics will be considered more than normal use and require repair.
What happens if my vehicle is in an accident?
If the worst should happen the first thing you need to do is call 911 and get an official police report. When you’re speaking with any other parties involved in the accident or to the police, it’s important that you’re factual but don’t admit fault. Once any emergency issues have been handled and you’re safe, complete an incident report here.

You’ll need the following:

  • The date, time, and location of the accident or incident
  • The name, address, date of birth and driver's license number of all the people involved (including all drivers, passengers, and witnesses)
  • The insurance policy number and the name and phone number of the insurance company and agent for all the vehicles involved (regardless of any assessment of fault)
  • Pictures and/or video footage of the scene, including all cars and property involved in the accident
  • The license plate numbers of any other vehicles involved, their make and year, and their vehicle identification number
  • A police report

If your vehicle is not drivable, you can contact Roadside Assistance to have your vehicle towed to an authorized repair center. If your vehicle is towed by any other party, you will be responsible for any fees associated with retrieving the vehicle.

You will need to obtain a repair estimate from a vehicle repair shop. Once received, please email your repair estimate to service@drivego.com. Do not begin repairs on your vehicle until you are authorized by GO to do so.

Neither GO nor GO’s insurance policy provide for a rental or replacement vehicle while repairs are being made.

In the event of a total loss, once we’ve received all necessary documents from all parties, you can select a replacement vehicle. If the choice is made to cancel at the time of a total loss, all cancellation policies will apply.
How does insurance work?
Customers are required to add their GO vehicle to their existing auto insurance policy or obtain an insurance policy that meets GO’s minimum coverage standards. More information can be found here.
What happens if my vehicle is damaged or has excessive wear and tear?
You are responsible for your vehicle and making sure it’s kept in good condition. If your vehicle is returned with damage or excess wear and tear, there will be a charge. You can read more about normal compared to excess wear and tear here.
I’m pretty popular. Do you have a referral program?
We absolutely do. Once you’ve set up your account, you’ll get a unique referral code. Then, when your friend orders a car using your code, we’ll add $250 to your account and to theirs. Once you’ve got your code, there’s no cap; if you refer 10 friends, you get $2,500.
Can I leave the country with my vehicle?
Unfortunately not, no.
Do I need to get the car registered?

Can I register the car in my company’s name?

Do you accept trade-ins or ever buy customer vehicles?

What’s the delivery process like?
Your vehicle is delivered directly to your home by our third-party partners, allowing us to reach more neighborhoods easily. Upon arrival, the delivery team will request identification and conduct a visual inspection with you to note the starting mileage and verify the vehicle's condition. This information is recorded on a digital condition report for your records and reviewed by GO upon the vehicle’s return.

Inside the glovebox, you'll find the vehicle registration. If necessary, a temporary license plate may be provided initially, with a permanent plate sent to you afterward. The entire delivery process usually takes about 15 minutes.

For any vehicle-related inquiries, feel free to reach out to us at fleet@drivego.com. While our delivery partners aren't vehicle experts, we're here to ensure you have all the information you need.

How many keys will I get?

Can I eventually buy the car?

How do I receive the car?
GO delivers all of its vehicles at no charge to you. Your home delivery will occur once we ensure the vehicle is prepared and meets our standards.
How many miles can I drive?
You can select mile allocations of 833, 1000, or 1250 per month, equivalent to 10k, 12k, or 15k per year, respectively. Your monthly price will vary based on the number of miles you select. Your mileage is calculated monthly and unused miles rollover to the next month.
