Now it’s $40-$50 with tax for 5 hours! Used to be around $20-$30 (and same buggy and headache of a service as before SO totally not worth it ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-03-21, version 1.3* App is always crashing for my iPhone, I’ve updated it and everything and it still sucks. And now I try to open the app and it doesn’t open at all. The ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-03-17, version 1.3* I can’t even open the app now. It immediately crashes. This really sucks. I was looking forward to renting a car on Thursday. ### 1/5 — Aaaaarrgh!! *2026-01-23, version 1.2* Due to charger not available, I could not park at several locations. This wasted 3 hours finding a place to charge. I called the customer service. I was at culver city to charge. Where the charger was stuck. I was redirected by the customer service to a place in washington boulevard. Only to find that I cannot end my ride there. I could not end my ride at vermont expo too. I had to go to southwestern avenue. It was such a painful experience. ### 1/5 — GREAT Concept. POORLY Executed! *2025-11-13, version 1.2* The title says it all! Here are the details: Approximately 90% of the time the vehicle’s software is not working efficiently summed up below: CONS: 1) The car simply won’t start. 2) There are spaces to park/return vehicle but broken chargers exist. Thus, possible need to go to a different return zone. 3) As one is taking pictures of car and making notations the car may “time-out.” This means you may need to start all over. In general this happens if you reserved the car in advance via the app from a remote location. 4) car won’t lock upon returning. 5) car won’t acknowledge being plugged into charger during the return process. 6) car not always clean (inside nor out) 7) even without all the difficulties above, from the time you walk up to the car until the time you are allowed to drive off, the process takes like roughly 15mins. And yes, the clock is ticking. All the above usually requires calling them and spending lots of time that you may or may not have to give. Any relocating of course takes whatever time it takes to find the nearest available return which sometimes can be so far that it defeats the whole purpose or plan that you may have put together. Then at the end of it all, the clock has been quietly ticking during all of this mischief. If you ask for a proration, and if they grant it, it won’t happen until after you pay the full illegitimate price. For some, you may have only had enough to get the car plus maybe a few extra dollars in your account. Thus, you don’t have the amount being asked of you! Lastly, if you pick up the car… say at 7th and Broadway… you probably have intentions on returning to the exact same location. That doesn’t always happen because the return location may be full. The sad part is it’s not always filled with Blink vehicles. Every now and again a few privately owned EV vehicles have taken over a charger or two. This may send you way out of the way from your home or whatever your destination is. PROS: 1) car drives wonderfully. From perfect torque to perfect braking. But I can’t give that credit to this company. For that credit belongs to the automobile manufacturer. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t show correct availability *2025-07-30* Default station doesn’t show correct cars availability when 1st opening app, shows empty ### 1/5 — Repeated overcharges, long wait times, poor support *2025-07-22, version 1.1* Every time I’ve used this app, I’ve been overcharged and had to contact support to correct it. The wait times to reach someone are consistently 1–2 hours, and it’s even worse at night. It used to be frustrating, but now customer service seems nonexistent. I don’t feel this app is reliable or user-friendly at all. ### 1/5 — Scam App 🛑 *2025-05-08, version 1.0.15* App is a scam. Don’t use it. Credit card can’t be deleted from your profile. App never works. When you try to end your ride, you have to call support and stay on hold for obnoxiously long wait times while they take your money for over charges and they will lie and say they’re processing a refund after you harass them and never will. Complete garbage. ### 1/5 — Where are the CARS?! *2025-05-02, version 1.0.15* It use to show all over downtown LA now I don’t see any.. only 3or 4 cars by Washington Blvd / Culver City.. ??? What happened please help ### 5/5 — Need an Inglewood location *2025-04-23, version 1.0.15* Love Culver City Location too ## Frequently asked questions about Blink Car Share ### What is Blink Car Share?
