(PRWEB) July 21, 2010

The world’s first neighbour-to-neighbour car rental service, WhipCar, has grown to over 300 cars of 40 different makes available to rent in less than three months of launch. The innovative service launched in London at the end of April and is gaining traction across the rest of the UK. WhipCar members can already take advantage of car rental in Bournemouth, car rental in Bristol and car rental in Nottingham amongst dozens of other UK locations.

“We are delighted with the uptake and very pleased with the number of different makes of car now available, it arguably makes WhipCar the most diverse car rental service anywhere in the world,” says Tom Wright, co-founder of WhipCar.

With WhipCar, private car owners can for the first time rent out their cars for money to eligible drivers looking for a close, convenient and affordable way to rent them. The site connects those looking to rent a car with car owners in their local area that have spare car time. The average car in the UK is only used for an hour per day and WhipCar enables a car owners to make money whenever they are not using their cars. The unlimited range of locations that WhipCar’s platform allows means it has the capability to reach areas that no other car hire services can.

The service is simple to use and free to register. Owners are notified by text and email when there is an approved driver in their area who wants to rent their vehicle. All cars and drivers are screened by WhipCar before a booking is completed. Every hire is covered by a bespoke, comprehensive insurance policy provided by Lloyds of London. The insurance policy is integrated into the service and dynamically placed at the time of booking, providing the ultimate in security and peace of mind.

Car owners on the service get to set their own price for hourly, daily or weekly car rental. WhipCar drivers can hire over 40 different makes of car while conveniently picking up and dropping off a car exactly when they need to, without being restricted by car rental opening hours.
