On the surface, you’d think this is not great, because, you know, the endless chase for status. But, really for a car rental company with such a small footprint, and only offering 2 vehicle types, this is actually a very smart strategy. Here’s how the program works: [IMG]https://saverocity.com/taggingmiles/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2019/09/Silvercar-3.jpg[/IMG] Silvercar Premium Rewards Program A few other key details: [LIST] [*]You earn points for the base cost; meaning you don’t earn points on taxes, fees. Earn rate: 1 point per dollar spent. [*]Using points – You need to have at least enough points to cover 50% of the base rate of a total reservation. [*]Redeeming Points – You get a 1-day rental starting at 516 points (assuming $49 base rate), meaning points have a rough value of 9.49 cents.

Another piece that is a bit unclear is that the terms state that points have no value (generally a good thing), so the award chart is a bit murky to me.
