Rent-A-Wreck and NP Auto Group both announced a parternship with Stress Free Car Rental, a U.K.-based online rental booking platform.
The company has recently launched its own app-based rental software known as ASAP to allow customers to self-service many aspects of the rental transaction, allowing customers time to examine their options for coverage and provide documentation ahead of time, manage extensions and document vehicle condition.
Stress Free Car Rental offers transparency in disclosing its policies and rental fees to the customer in an effort to eliminate surprises and speed up the car rental process at the time of booking, according to the company.
“We are excited to partner with Stress Free Car Rental,” said Rent-A-Wreck president Jason Manelli in a statement. “We strive to provide our customers with the best possible experiences and this partnership helps ensure that our customers have access to the best car rental options with minimal effort.”
The companies anticipate success with this new partnership to expand the brands in the car rental industry and acquire a new audience of customers.
