Locauto revolutionizes short-term rental by introducing 6h-12h car rates and totally eliminates security deposit

Milan, May 25, 2020. Locauto’s disruptive strategy for the revival of mobility does not stop and, aware of its customers’ expectations in such a complex phase, the Italian company presents two important innovations in short-term car rental: the introduction of 6H and 12h hourly rates and the elimination of the security deposit for direct customers.

In order to boost very short-term mobility, Locauto is now introducing two new rental formulas for customers who need to travel and move for less than 24H, taking advantage of the freedom of movement and safety guaranteed by a perfectly sanitized fleet, as an alternative to public transport services i.e. car sharing, trains, shuttles and cabs.

Thus, the 6H and 12H hourly solutions kick off: a new opportunity that simplifies city and suburban mobility needs even for customers who, for the first time, are approaching short-term rental and can take advantage of a quick and safe service with cars that are always sanitized: getting around the city or moving from one city to another has never been easier and more convenient than now.

In this phase of the country’s recovery and revitalization, Locauto has decided to take a further step against the industry trend by waiving the security deposit on all car rentals for customers using direct booking channels such as website, app, reservation center and rental counter.

“A choice that is certainly distinctive in our sector,” emphasizes Raffaella Tavazza, Vice President of Locauto, “which the company has decided to adopt in order to concretely support customers in a very delicate phase, also from an economic point of view, easing the burden that the security deposit entails, and which focuses mainly on the relationship of trust and closeness established with our customers. Awaiting the upcoming deadlines regarding the reopening of mobility within the country and from abroad, we are confident that all the actions introduced by Locauto, will facilitate a gradual resumption of mobility by our current and future customers, thanks to safe and personalized rental services.”
