# FlightCar

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/flightcar/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

FlightCar was a United States peer-to-peer car-rental marketplace built around airport travel, surfaced into the API Evangelist network as an a16z portfolio lead. Enrichment probing on 2026-07-20 found no operating company behind the name and no API surface of any kind. The domain flightcar.com is registered but publishes no A, AAAA or MX records, resolves to no host, and sits on Njalla privacy nameservers with a SOA serial dated 2026-07-18; the api, developer and docs subdomains do not resolve; there is no GitHub organisation at github.com/flightcar; and no first-party client library exists on npm or PyPI. The Internet Archive shows the consumer site returning 200 through May 2016 and an Internal Server Error by July 2017, with no successful captures in 2017 or 2018. FlightCar is therefore carried in the network as a defunct company retained for portfolio-graph and historical continuity rather than as an active API provider, and should not be re-queued for artifact enrichment.
