We live in a time of disruption where industries all over the world are facing changes and upheaval. The car industry is no exception. Uber is an excellent example of disruption in the taxi industry, specifically.
What are a few new or upcoming technologies that could affect comprehensive car rental software like Booking Tool?
- Car Sharing Culture
Uber and Lyft are both making car sharing a real possibility that people could begin turning to. With the knowledge that far, short-term car rentals from places like ZipCar are available when needed, more and more people are choosing to forgo personal cars. This could mean that rental software and car rental companies might begin to change as well to accommodate this new car culture.
Silvercar is an interesting example of a car rental company that’s bringing something new to the table. This company only rents Audi A4s, which means it can offer a level of customization that is often missing from other big name companies like Avis or Hertz. If the industry begins to shift in this direction, car rental software might evolve to include more add-ons or offer an online tool for clients to use that reports mileage, gas used, toll fees incurred, and more.
- Autonomous Driving
This is a big one that everyone keeps talking about, but it does seem like this could be a very real possibility in the future. Autonomous driving cars could change the landscape of the car rental industry. One day, could renting a car be akin to picking up a movie from RedBox?
