Hi Natalia,

I appreciate your review and I'm sorry for the confusion. At the time of enrollment, you have agreed to our billing policy, which indicated after the seven-day trial is completed, additional billing would follow on a monthly basis. A confirmation email was sent detailing the same. This information can also be found in our Terms of Service, https://goodcar.com/terms.

We did not receive any cancellation request which was why you were charged the renewal. Please know that you can still use the service until April 30, 2026. If there's anything else we can help you with. Have a great day ahead, and stay safe!

Sincerely,
Lovely

Your company is not honest

Your company is not honest. The price stated on the website was $1.95. Why did I get an email with price of a subscription that I did not request? Fraudulent!!!!

Hate this company

Hate this company. Their products are a cheap grab to get all your data and send endless emails. It's a distillation of everything we're so tired of in our culture — you pay them to steal your data and force you to do their market research.

In response to the company's corporate reply to my review, I'll specify that they take your money and *then* begin to start asking for your personal information and making you answer inadequately phrased survey questions for them — and you can only get the product you purchased after providing all the information. To me, it felt very much like a trap, and I can't in any way endorse this business model even if the company claims innocence on review websites.

Money is being withdrawn from your card without your knowledge!

Without your knowledge, they will try to charge your card $30 for a subscription you never even signed up for. I recommend thinking twice before making a purchase on this service.
