FlightCar went through Y Combinator in the Winter 2013 batch, describing itself as FlightCar is the Airbnb of Car Rentals at Airports. We allow people…. Y Combinator's company directory lists it as Inactive. The directory does not say why a company stopped, and this page does not guess.

Its batch
Winter 2013 had 46 companies in YC's listing: 17 Active, 15 Acquired, 0 Public and 14 Inactive, so FlightCar is one of 14 companies from that batch listed as Inactive (30%). Across YC batches at least two years old, 23% of companies are listed Inactive.
Statuses are Y Combinator's own listing in its public company directory, read on the date shown. YC's directory can drop companies altogether, so the Inactive counts here are a floor, not a full count of companies that stopped. Acquired and Public are as YC lists them; neither says anything about the price or the outcome for founders.
The record: FlightCar in the Y Combinator directory. Measured 2026-09-26 from Y Combinator's company directory.
