Upshift

Upshift removes all the friction from owning a car. Whenever you need to drive somewhere, we deliver a Toyota Prius or Ford Escape hybrid SUV to your doorstep. Get a car with as little as 30 minutes notice- always clean with a full tank. When you return, simply park it and walk away anywhere in our service zone. No more expensive garages or circling the block for street parking. Forget worrying about parking tickets, break-ins, or mysterious new dents. We provide full coverage insurance and take it in for maintenance and repairs. All you have to think about is where you are going. We’re live in San Francisco and we plan to expand to all cities so you can always have “your” car - anywhere in the world.
