A new concept is coming to major cities: car rental between private individuals. There are sites that connect those who are looking for a car to get around to those who own a car that sleeps in the garage!

Peer to peer car rental

If you do not own a vehicle but occasionally (or even regularly) you need a car to get around you can rent a car from a private individual. After registering on the site, all you have to do is contact the owner to book your car, by the hour, day or week. To go on holiday in London for example, peer to peer car rental makes it easier for you to get around! You can visit https://www.drivy.co.uk for more information.

If you have a car to share: just register and choose the price at which you want to rent your car. The site takes no registration fees or commissions on rentals and your car is covered by comprehensive all-risk insurance. By renting your car you can earn money while doing a service for someone who doesn’t have a car.

Car sharing is economical and environmentally friendly, think about it for your next trips.

How did you come up with the idea of offering this service?

Because of all those cars sleeping on the street, of course! The mission of car rental platforms between individuals is to promote a more intelligent use of the automotive resources available nearby. And the untapped potential to make available is enormous: a car is used on average less than 1 hour per day. This car rental method offers to make your vehicle useful!

Rent your car

If you have a vehicle that spends long weeks in its garage or parking space, it is probably time to take it out and rent it to earn money fairly easily (besides you can also rent your parking space).

To do so, it’s very easy: look at the list of sites that offer the option of private car rental and choose one of these platforms to register… Or if you want, have an account on each of them for more visibility (some are free and others not). Then write an ad to publish, in which it will be necessary to specify among other things the condition of the vehicle, its make, its references and especially the rental price. Interested people will contact you: they may be tourists, executives on the move, and families on holiday, etc. Once the deal is completed and the payment or down payment received, you will in turn pay a commission to the rental site if required by the rental site. Otherwise, you will probably have to pay for your use of the platform in the form of a monthly or annual subscription.
