Hello! You are on the Technology news channel, thanks for reading me! Every positive and kind comment warms my soul!

Once the registration is complete, it is time to define the type of car that you want to book. Four models are available, they are the result of partnerships with manufacturers to be able to integrate the technology required for smartphone interlocking in vehicles: Mercedes GLA, Mercedes New Class A, Mercedes Class A and Fiat 500X. The classic equipment is not forgotten because cars can have the CarPlay, an automatic transmission, a reversing camera, a cruise control, a speed limiter, etc.
Then you must enter the point of withdrawal and return of the vehicle. Virtuo is a relatively new service, which explains why the points of withdrawal and restitution are located only in the big French cities and some foreign cities (Brussels, London, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Manchester).
Typically, you must then select the departure date and the return date, then start the search. If vehicles meeting the criteria are available, the user must then fill in his options: mileage, valet parking at the airport, additional driver, baby / child seat, etc. At that time, he can buy insurance with better coverage than that included in the initial price.
Then all that remains is to pay. The reservation is then accessible in the "key" section of the application. This is where he will have to download a virtual key a few hours before the start of his rental.
OuiCar: renting from individual to private
OuiCar is a vehicle rental service that puts individuals, owners and people wishing to rent a vehicle into contact. Rates offered by individuals are usually much more advantageous than those of professionals, even if, obviously, the quality of service is not the same.
When it arrives on the home page of the application, the user must enter the location of the rental, the date and time of departure, the date and time of return, and the distance he will go. Logically, the points of departure and restitution must be the same. Thus people wishing to rent a vehicle at point A and return it to a point B will have to go through more traditional services.
Once the search is launched, the results will be filtered by defining a price range, specifying a vehicle type (from utility coupe to less than 3.5 tonnes) and a transmission mode (manual, automatic or sequential).
We regret a little that the results appear pell-mell, we would have liked to classify them by increasing price or distance from the starting point. Apart from this point, there is nothing to complain about, just click on the ad of choice to view a detailed record of the vehicle: type of fuel, type of transmission, number of seats, notes of the vehicle, notes the owner, estimated response time, vehicle description, options, accessories included and rental conditions (driver age, number of years of license, etc.).
If the user is interested, then he has only to send a request to the owner. Do not hesitate to multiply them, especially when you are a newcomer, the owners of vehicles preferring logically rent priority to people who have received positive evaluations. If the request is accepted and confirmed, then the owner and the user have the opportunity to contact each other directly, the phone numbers are revealed.
For those who do not wish to rent a car in this way, but who would be interested in renting their car, it is necessary to complete a vehicle information form, which must meet certain conditions (for example, mileage can not exceed 200,000 kilometers). An estimate of the rental rate is given to the owner as an indication, this is only advisory. The vehicles made available are fully covered by Axa insurance.
Two details seem important to us. First, as for the cost of the service, YesCar takes 30% of the total sum paid by the user. Despite this, prices are much more competitive than a conventional rental agency. It must nevertheless be kept in mind that in case of a problem, the efficiency of the OuiCar customer service will be less than that of a conventional agency, simply because it does not offer a replacement vehicle, only a refund of sums paid. . Then, users who do not read the general conditions of the contract will be surprised that a deposit of 400 euros is required. This sum must be present on the account at the time of rental, it is not charged, but is blocked until the return of the vehicle in good condition (or at least in its state when the inventory).
