Pets, smoking, kids' seats, and other extras

What's allowed by default, what to ask for, and the fees if you break the rules.

Built forSmartphoneTabletDesktopEvery FairCar feature works identically across devices.

Pets

Default: no pets in any vehicle. Listings that allow pets show a pet icon and a pet fee (typically $25–$75 per trip).

Service animals are always allowed by federal law and require no fee — but please message the host as a courtesy.

Smoking and vaping

Banned in every FairCar vehicle, no exceptions. Confirmed smoking triggers a $400 deep-clean fee.

Add-ons hosts may offer

Child seats (infant / toddler / booster), roof racks and cargo boxes, ski/bike racks, EV charging cables, dash camera install, prepaid toll transponder.

Add these at checkout or message the host to request — they confirm or decline within a few hours.
