Excess Wear and Tear Guidelines 

Updated 03/11/2022

OVERVIEW

Let’s face it, cars don’t always age gracefully. But after you recover from the heartbreak of your first shopping cart door-ding, life goes on. And so does your subscription.

At Autonomy, we’re not putting you and your vehicle under the microscope when you return it. We take a more measured approach. Normal wear and tear includes minor scratches, dents, and the occasional fast food stain. Excess wear and tear is the more dramatic stuff, including broken glass, dents and scratches bigger than your driver’s license, and that hole in your upholstery shaped remarkably like a furniture leg. 

Excess Mileage

Your Autonomy subscription includes 12,000 miles per year or roughly 1,000 miles per month. So if you subscribe to a car for 3 months, your mileage allowance is 3,000 miles. Anything beyond that will cost $0.25 per mile. 

Excess Wear And Tear

Listed below are potentially chargeable items if they were not pre-existing. To determine if they were present at subscription delivery, we’ll compare your original inspection photos to the vehicle at turn-in.
