Keyless car rental: an opportunity for your company too?
Car sharing-app: rental without intervention
Anyone renting a car always has higher expectations of the rental process. They want maximum flexibility, an excellent 24/7 service and a minimum of administration. ProPlanner meets this trend and can help your rental business to turn car rental into a complete digital experience.
Car sharing-app: rental without intervention
With our Car sharing-app we roll out a complete digital experience for your end customer:
- The customer uses his or her smartphone to scan the QR code on the vehicles. This opens the download of the app.
- A personal ID can be created in the app. He/she makes a picture of his/her driving licence and eID and these documents are automatically read. Our app approves this new account without waiting period and the desired vehicle can be reserved immediately.
- Payment is made using the payment app of choice and the customer is ready to go, as the car can also be unlocked immediately via the app. No physical key is required.
- The customer is given an overview of the existing damage before leaving and can add to it if necessary.
Keyless technology
Do you want to offer this digital experience to your customers too? ProPlanner's fleet software uses the hardware of Continental Automotive Key as a Service (KaaS) for this technology. This revolutionary hardware is also known as OTA Keys.
ProPlanner's seamless integration with this hardware makes car sharing with virtual keys child's play. An added bonus is that the hardware is easy to install in the vehicle, thus saving time and money. In addition, the partnership ensures interesting hardware prices for customers.Strengths for car dealers and car rental businesses?
This keyless (r)evolution is a great opportunity for every car dealer and rental company:
- A car park is all you need to open a new branch to bring your offer closer to the customer, allowing you to expand geographically without huge investment costs.
- The rental process itself does not require any staff, which has a positive impact on payroll.
Of course, not everything can be done without staff. For example, it is best to have a help desk, which may or may not be organised centrally. And the vehicles need periodic check-ups and cleaning. This can be solved with a mobile team that works across your various branches.
- You can also offer extra added value at your manned branches. Customers are no longer tied to your opening times and digitisation saves time at the counter.
- And why can car dealers not rent out their unused courtesy vehicles at the weekend? This step towards the future is predicted for car dealerships.
