Flexible Car Rentals in Phoenix, for Gig Work or Play

Frequently Asked Questions

Is car sharing safe?

Car sharing is safe when the platform has strong verification, insurance, and trip-tracking systems in place. On Mobi, every driver is identity-verified, each trip includes insurance coverage, and all cars have required check-in and check-out photo documentation. These steps reduce risk for both drivers and hosts and make the experience more secure than traditional peer-to-peer rentals.

What is included in the insurance?

Every trip includes platform-provided coverage for both hosts and drivers. This usually includes liability protection and physical damage coverage for the car. Coverage details may vary depending on your state and the car.

How does driver verification work?

Before booking, every driver must upload a valid driver’s license, pass identity verification, complete a background and safety check, and add a valid payment method. Approval usually takes a few minutes.

Is Mobi a regular rental car company?

No, Mobi isn't a typical rental car company. It's a peer-to-peer carsharing platform where you can book cars directly from trusted local car owners. Mobi doesn't own any cars; instead, Mobi hosts offer their personal vehicles and decide on their own pricing, discounts, and availability.

Where is Mobi available?

Mobi is now available in major cities across the U.S. Search your location to see if we're live near you. Want Mobi in your city? Let us know!

What’s the difference between Turo and Mobi?

While Turo is built around leisure rentals, Mobi is built for flexibility. Drivers can use Mobi cars for everyday trips or for gig work, like driving for Uber, DoorDash, and Amazon Flex, which provides more freedom than traditional peer-to-peer rentals. For hosts, gig-worker demand leads to longer and more consistent bookings.

Mobi is designed by experienced hosts who understand the pain points in the space and are focused on fixing what does not work well on Turo.

What do I need to book a car on Mobi?

To book a car on Mobi, you must create a Mobi account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Mobi, and be 21 years old or older in the US.

What happens if I have an emergency or issue with the car?

If there’s an emergency or an issue with the car, first contact your host. If you need additional help, reach out to our team so we can make sure you’re safe and get you assistance.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

Free cancellation up to 3 days before your trip begins. You can view the exact policy on the car’s page before booking.

How long can I rent a car, and can I extend my trip?

You can rent a vehicle for as short or as long as you need. Mobi makes extensions easy - just go to your Active Trip page and extend with a few clicks. There are no extra fees for extending; you simply continue at the same daily rate.

Where is the car and how do I get to it?

Before booking, you’ll see the car’s general area on the map. After you book, we’ll show you the exact location in your Upcoming Trip page. Your host will also reach out with a welcome and help you get set up. Easy and stress-free.

How does insurance work?

Mobi handles insurance for every trip. Select the right vehicle for gig or leisure use, and we’ll provide the proper coverage and insurance card.

How does pricing work on Mobi?

Pricing is set by hosts. You’ll see the trip price before booking, including daily rate, insurance, taxes, and platform fees. No hidden costs — the total price is always shown upfront.

What cars can I book on Mobi?

All cars on Mobi are listed by local hosts, so you get access to specific vehicles, not just a “car class” like traditional rentals. Depending on your city, you’ll find everything from economy cars to Teslas and SUVs. Some cars may have host preferences or gig-use restrictions.

How does driver verification work?

Before booking, every driver must upload a valid driver’s license, complete identity verification, pass a background and safety check, and add a valid payment method. Approval typically takes just a few minutes. You’ll only be charged for your rental after you successfully pass verification.

How does Mobi work?

All cars on Mobi are listed by local hosts, so they’re spread across the city instead of sitting in one rental hub making it easier to find one close to you. Just book the car you want directly on our platform — everything is self-service. After your booking is confirmed, you’ll get the car’s exact location and all the instructions you need to find your car and connect with your host.

What happens if I return the car late?

If you return the car after the trip end time without an approved extension, a late fee may apply. You can request an extension directly in the app. If the host approves it, no late fee is charged.

Can I use Mobi for personal trips, gig work, or both?

Yes. Mobi is built for real-world, flexible vehicle use. You can book a car for personal errands, weekend trips, rideshare driving, delivery work, or a combination of all three, as long as the vehicle you choose is approved for your intended use.

If you plan to use the car for both gig and personal use, simply book it as a gig rental. That gives you the flexibility to switch between gig work and personal driving during the same rental—something most platforms don’t support.
