Car Rental Gateway has partnered with Liigu to offer new-generation contactless car sharing on their customisable app platform Titanium Mobility. The service is now available in France, Portugal, Latvia, and Estonia, with more locations already in the works.

"We share a mission with Liigu to offer mobility services to everyone whenever and wherever," Martin Kallasmaa, Car Rental Gateway's commercial director said in a statement. "Titanium Mobility gives our partners a flexible and efficient tool stack for scaling up a forward-looking service. Our biggest innovation is not technology. It's the attitude. We want to make car-sharing truly customer-friendly by making the most of the technology that is already out there."

The goal is to offer a service as convenient as customers having their own car waiting in the airport parking lot. Instead of upsell-oriented rental desks, Liigu also offers their customers personal support during their whole trip.

Titanium Mobility provides a technology to meet Liigu's goal. A full mobility journey on a single platform enables customers to book a car online, go straight to the car, unlock the doors using the mobile app, and drive off — a smartphone is the only thing needed to rent a Liigu car.
