Uber App Gives Users in Greece the Option to Rent a Car

Ride hailing service Uber recently announced that users in Greece and seven other European markets (Belgium, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, France) can now make a car rental reservation with Uber Rent through the Uber app.

The new Uber Rent service promises to make car rental easier for users. Uber users will be able to access and choose from hundreds of vehicles from the world’s most trusted car rental companies, including Hertz, Avis and Budget, literally at the touch of a button.

“We’re excited to expand the range of transportation options in Greece and offer the possibility for people to go literally everywhere with Uber through the Uber Rent service,” Uber Greece General Manager Sarita Varouch said.

In collaboration with CarTrawler, a leading technology company in the car rental industry, Uber recommends the best possible car rental option based on a user’s location and destination. The service also offers users the ability to compare prices, choose a vehicle size, and review a vehicle from previous users.

“Greece is one of the first markets to use this new service, confirming the company’s commitment to the country,” Varouch added.

1. Update the Uber app to the latest version and the Uber Rent option appears.
2. Select “Rentals” and enter the date and pick-up point in the corresponding Cartrawler fields that appear.
