Uber has launched a world-first car rental service in Australia.

The rideshare platform launched a trial of the world-first new feature, which lets users hire a car through the Uber app.

To use Uber Rent, you’ll first need to update your Uber app to the latest version. If you’re part of the initial rollout, you’ll be able to select “Rentals”, where you’ll see a search page provided by CarTrawler – a car rental supplier and Uber’s partner. From there you can choose and book the car you’d like, as well as the date and location.

You could wrap go-car into FreeNow and have that here tomorrow.
Mind you,they'd want to put alcohol testers in the ignition.

It's hardly an innovation.I think the obsession with Uber is taxi drivers biggest downfall. Freenow would bring in rideshare in a heartbeat if they were allowed.

They already charge fully licenced taxi drivers 15% commission and give our work to limousines. What's so scary about Uber Ken?. Go car already provide car rentals in Dublin via an app.
