Uber launches its own car-sharing service, Uber Rent

In the same week that Uber Bike became official and a new driver app rolled out, the ride-hailing company announced Wednesday it was adding a car-sharing service on its app. Say hello to Uber Rent. In a partnership with car-share startup Getaround, Uber Rent connects users to nearby cars through the Uber app. Except instead of hopping into the back seat with a driver at the wheel, you're renting someone's car for a short amount of time. You can sign up, reserve, and unlock a car from the Getaround platform all through the Uber app. SEE ALSO: Car companies thirsty for Uber-style influence: If you can't beat 'em, join em Read more...
