With modern technology the common way of renting with paper contracts, cash deposits, physical keys and withholding personal identifications unlawfully could be replaced and automated with an accessible and secure smartphone application.

The important criteria for a digital infrastructure is to emerge as an organic extension of the existing paper rental business and transparently build an online hardware and software solution layer where modern consumers can use their smartphones to

• connect with independent vendors
• discover the distributed online fleet at their location
• reserve and pay online for their desired rental period
• lock or unlock the vehicles with secure wireless connection

Aiming for the least amount of friction and best user experience an app could technically start a rental and unlock the nearst available vehicle with a single tap when utilizing integrated mobile payments.
