MyCarYourRental can make car owners money

New Zealand Car Owners Can Make Money, Reduce Traffic With MyCarYourRental

Newly launched peer to peer platform lets car owners rent out their vehicles

MARCH 14, 2016 - The newly launched MyCarYourRental platform offers a no-holdsbarred solution to multiple problems incurred by drivers in New Zealand. For those tired of dealing with traffic and for those who are looking to make extra income, MyCarYourRental has a simple, effective solution.

According to MyCarYourRental founder Henrik Stovring, “Here in New Zealand, we’ve got cars sitting all over the place. On every corner you’ll find cars parked, and it gets worse every day.” With his new platform, he hopes to make a lot better use out of those cars that are just sitting around.

MyCarYourRental.com is a newly launched peer to peer (P2P) car rental company that Stovring compares to AirBnB for cars. It can even be used for campervans, coaches, trucks, and trailers. Anyone can go to the website and list their vehicle for free in order to rent it to someone else. The platform promises a safe environment where all users are approved ahead of listing or renting anything. “Should anything go wrong, you are
covered by the concepts insurance so your own won’t get drawn upon,” said Stovring.

When someone lists their vehicle for rent, they get to decide the rate and whether or not to accept rental requests.

According to Stovring, P2P car rental has been used around the world for the past 8 years as part of the “sharing economy”, and it has taken off over the last 2-3 years. He says that while his website just launched, he’s got more than 300 users and 100 cars at My Car Your Rental already.
