About

Launched in early 2013 and based in San Francisco, California, FlightCar inspires and enables local owners and visitors to come together to list and rent each other’s unique vehicles. We make it convenient and enjoyable for anyone to experience traveling in an original way at a great value. By connecting visitors who need cars at the airport with locals looking to park them, FlightCar saves travelers money, creates a more interesting experience, and offers a practical and novel new option for a collaborative community of travelers. The company has raised a total of $40.41 million from prominent investors including GGV Capital, General Catalyst Partners, First Round Capital, Softbank Capital, The Priceline Group, Tencent Holdings, and Brian Chesky, CEO and Co-Founder of Airbnb. Currently operating in 12 airports nationwide: AUS, BOS, DEN, DFW, EWR, IAD, LAX, OAK, SAN, SEA, SJC, SFO
