[Photo: Flexcar]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpanding into Texas is a major milestone for Flexcar as we continue to grow our national footprint,\u201d Ryan Quinlan, president and chief operating officer of Boston-based Flexcar, said in a statement. \u201cTexas drivers have a strong connection to their vehicles, and we\u2019re excited to offer a more flexible alternative to traditional car ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flexcar estimates its U.S. customers recently surpassed 350 million miles driven. Aside from Dallas, the company operates hubs in Boston, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte, North Carolina. Planned hubs include Houston, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlexcar is here to disrupt a $110 billion industry by providing customers a better alternative to car ownership,\u201d the company said on its<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/flexcar_official\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> LinkedIn page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How it works<\/p>\n<p>Unlike typical car leases, the vehicle subscription company lets customers cancel their service or switch vehicles at any time. Flexcar offers tiered plans based on monthly mileage. Drivers can purchase insurance at an additional cost.<\/p>\n<p>The company said it also offers free maintenance and roadside assistance, along with a gas discount program.<\/p>\n<p>Car Tips Daily said a Flexcar subscription requires a $249 annual fee, as well as various fees. The type of car, customer\u2019s credit and geographic location affect the monthly rate. Monthly rates start at $464 for 850 miles and the \u201cessential\u201d insurance plan, Flexcar said.<\/p>\n<p>On its website, Flexcar shows cost comparisons for leasing and buying. For example, it estimates the cost for a 2025 Toyota Prius LE at $569 for Flexcar month-to-month leasing, $646 for traditional leasing and $743 for purchasing.<\/p>\n<p>\tR E A D\u00a0\u00a0 N E X T\t<\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dallasinnovates.com\/calendar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789529299_672_AdobeStock_216040804.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rp4wp-thumbnail-post size-rp4wp-thumbnail-post wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>North Texas has plenty to see, hear, and watch.\u00a0Here are our editors&#8217; picks.
