Amazon's new in-car delivery service, which will be available in 37 cities and surrounding areas, is a variation of Amazon Key. Some of the available delivery cities include: San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Nashville, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, and Washington, D.C.
For in-car delivery to work, customers must have a 2015 or later Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicle with an active account with OnStar, the roadside assistance and navigation service from General Motors. Car owners with 2015 or newer Volvos with a similar service, On Call, can also receive in-car deliveries from Amazon.
Couriers can use those assistance services to find the cars through satellite location-tracking and unlock the trunk. Customers can park their vehicle anywhere in a roughly two-block radius of their regular delivery address and the driver will find it; and you must give Amazon the make, model, color and license plate number of your car to help the delivery person find it. In case of any problems, the driver will default to that address for the delivery.
The service seems aimed especially at people who leave their vehicles in the lots of large, easily accessible suburban office parks.
