Need a big sedan or minivan to go on a family vacation? Do you want to rent a utility for a few hours? Futura has given you an overview of the best car rental applications and presents their main highlights.
The situations in which it is possible to rent a car are many: holidays with family or friends, business trips, moving, work requiring a utility, special occasions, etc. At present, it is no longer mandatory to go to the counter of a rental agency to book a car, everything can be done over the Internet, including on his smartphone. Thus, multiple companies offer applications to have a vehicle in a simple, fast and economical way. Futura has analyzed the main players in the market and presents the solutions that seemed the most interesting.
Carngo: the best offers of traditional agencies
Carngo is a service offering to compare the car rental offers available for 1,600 suppliers in 150 countries and speaking 40 different languages.
The interface of the application is sober and refined, everything is done so that the user can find a vehicle that suits him as easily as possible. Thus, the latter must first indicate the location of the rental and the place where he wishes to return the vehicle (if it is different from the place of care). Then, it indicates the date and time of withdrawal, then the date and time of return. Finally, he must specify the age of the driver before starting his search.
This takes a few seconds, then the results are displayed. By default, they are classified by "recommendations", without knowing exactly what it corresponds. The user can then decide to make them appear by increasing price or by proximity of the place where the vehicle can be removed.
Number of passengers ;
number of bags;
fuel tank to be returned full or not;
distance from the place of withdrawal;
price per day and total price;
provider name and satisfaction rating given by users.
The user can enter additional filters to refine his search:
size of the car;
provider ;
type of transmission (manual or automatic);
vehicle specifications (air conditioning, diesel or gasoline);
mileage;
When he clicks on an offer, he then has access to a more detailed sheet, for example indicating the insurance coverage included, which he can integrate into an email or share on social networks and couriers. It may also choose additional options at this time, such as the option of adding an extra driver, GPS, child seat, booster seat, snow chains, ski rack, etc.
The user can put the offers that interest him in his favorites for quick access later. When he has finally chosen, he only has to indicate his details and pay all or part of the rental, after which he will only have to go directly to the rental agency on the day of withdrawal .
Interesting detail: cancellation is possible and free of charge until 24 hours before the date of withdrawal. The customer service is open 24 hours a day in several languages.
Virtuo: the most technologically advanced service
Virtuo is a car rental service that stands out from the competition, as it frees itself from passing through an agency that was previously systematic.
Virtuo is therefore ideal for people who hate administrative paperwork and want to avoid queues in agencies. Indeed, all cars are made available in underground car parks and the user uses his smartphone as a key, thanks to a Bluetooth connection.
When it starts the application, the user must first create an account, by filling in his identity, his email and providing the necessary documents (driver's license, ID and selfie). We regret a little that this phase is mandatory even before we can view the offers, but this is the only flaw that we have identified.
