Dublin, Ireland, 28th of April 2021: CarTrawler, the leading B2B provider of car rental technology solutions to the global travel industry, has today announced a strategic partnership with Uber to help bring Uber Rent to more customers around the world. Following availability in Australia, New Zealand, UK and France, this expansion will provide all U.S. Uber app users access to quality car rentals at competitive rates set by rental brands.


CarTrawlers technology facilitates renting a car through an easy and accessible offering directly in the Uber app and access to special promotions like the Uber Cash back offer, throughout the year.
The partnership will play a helpful role in reshaping urban mobility in positive ways. Connecting riders to car rentals represents a key tactic in challenging the need for private car ownership.

Speaking from CarTrawler today, Aileen McCormack, Chief Commercial Officer said:
We are excited to announce the US launch of this partnership with Uber. CarTrawlers commitment to its customers is one that closely aligns with Uber. Crucially, this is a critical moment for the car rental market, as two of the most innovative travel-technology organisations come together to create a unique car rental proposition. The partnership will bring best-in-market car rental services to its widest audience yet, enabling more people than ever to travel in a way that is cheaper, easier, and more sustainable. And as we see more positive signs of recovery globally and cities opening up, CarTrawler & Uber will set the world in motion by getting people moving again.


Were excited to be teaming up with CarTrawler to help facilitate even broader access to rental vehicles when customers use Uber Rent to head out for that next getaway, errand, or adventure. As we partner on this and future endeavours together, were committed to creating a stellar rental vehicle experience defined by more options and less stress. Caleb Varner, Global Head of Uber Rent.

The partnership with Uber is just the latest in a long line of partnerships as CarTrawler continues to establish itself as the leading B2B facilitator of car rental solutions within the global travel industry.
