The VRP may offer different subscription tiers, where each subscription tier is associated with a predetermined number of credits for a given time period, potentially on a recurring basis. Accordingly, rather than directly purchasing a vehicle reservation, the customer may exchange credits associated with his or her user account for a vehicle reservation via the VRP. If the user account has an insufficient credit balance, the customer may purchase additional credits in order to address the deficiency. In examples, a credit cost of a vehicle reservation is static or may be determined dynamically based on a variety of factors.
