CarHopper provides car renters with a unique booking experience, unlike traditional car rental. The company, headquartered in Miami, Fla., connects independently owned local car rental companies with those looking to rent cars through their web and mobile app platforms.

Renters are now able to choose the make, model, year and color of the car they wish to rent and are able to easily view its car profile. The company has no initiation fees for car rental companies. CarHopper handpicks their affiliates based on their customer service standards and their eagerness to adapt to the technology.

“We want the customer to have the same level of convenience and go through the same streamlined CarHopper experience no matter which city and which company they rent from,” says Bora Hamamcioglu, chief executive officer, CarHopper.

CarHopper runs MVR background checks on all customers looking to rent a vehicle. When a booking is confirmed, the renter is emailed the location to pick up the car. The renter is only responsible for checking in through the app and picking up the car keys.

The company is a desirable option for a younger, mobile market, while offering a process with little to no paperwork. CarHopper gives smaller car rental companies the chance for more exposure.
