(September 21, 2020) HERNDON, Va. —Audi of America has announced the expansion of the brand’s U.S. mobility solutions with the availability of Silvercar by Audi at Audi dealerships. Customers will now have access to Silvercar by Audi at participating dealerships in several markets to rent from an exclusive Audi fleet and enjoy the customer satisfaction and premium Silvercar by Audi experience.

Additionally, Audi at Your Door — launched in May at participating dealers — offers customers a new online premium vehicle purchase and service experience. The expanded offerings continue the brand’s efforts to meet and adapt to consumers’ evolving mobility needs. Customers can rent, purchase and get on the road the way they want to in an Audi.

The Silvercar by Audi operations update will allow new and existing customers to rent an Audi at participating Audi dealerships, providing another entry point for customers. Silvercar will continue to offer an exclusive Audi fleet with premium standard features through the Silvercar mobile app and Silvercar website, including service provided by a Silvercar Mobility Specialist on location to assist customers when needed. The newly launched Contactless Rental will also be available at participating dealerships, making renting with Silvercar by Audi a worry-free and consumer friendly experience.

“We’ve seen and heard from customers that their mobility needs are changing as transportation habits evolve,” said Stephan Zeh, Head of Audi Mobility Services. “The addition of Silvercar rentals at dealerships provides a new, convenient way for new and existing customers to enjoy the premium Audi experience in their neighborhood.”

This new accessibility to Silvercar by Audi addresses the growing demand from new and existing customers for local rental options to accommodate regional transportation, longer test drives, flexible short-term transportation and lease bridges. It allows Audi to meet both short-term and long-term consumer demands and expectations during today’s rapidly changing travel environment. For example, urban-dwelling customers are showing increased favorability toward auto travel due to the uncertainties currently surrounding air travel.
