My Car Your Rental Breaks all records

My Car Your Rental Breaks all records with 500 private cars listed for rent!

NOVEMBER 17, 2016

It's a groundbreaking day for peer-to-peer car rental in New Zealand. My Car Your Rental has passed several milestones on the same day as being a finalist for a Sustainable Business Award! Since the platform’s launch, in February this year, interest in the My Car - Your Rental concept has been overwhelming. In nine months the number of cars for rent across New Zealand has gone from zero to 500, with the amount of users over four times that!

It is a mere coincidence that the 500 car milestone was passed today, but it supports why My Car Your Rental was selected as a finalist for the Innovation Mega Efficiency category at this years’ Sustainable Business Network awards. The show is being held tonight at Shed 10, Princess Wharf in Auckland with many other contenders looking to stamp their mark on NZ as firmly as we have. A lot of other peer-to-peer concepts have been launched in the last few years, but few have managed to grow their user base in such a short space of time, like the My Car Your Rental team. Considering that a lot of other P2P platforms on the market are either large co-ops backed by billions of dollars from overseas investors or New Zealand companies who have been forced into partnerships with existing operators, it's amazing to see that such a small, driven team can achieve such a market position.

My Car Your Rental has pioneered the car sharing market in New Zealand by offering Kiwis a simple, streamlined platform for renting and renting out their vehicles. The innovation of the site will go even further from here with new features introduced weekly, this will ensure the growth seen in the last 9 months continues.
