Ever imagined Airbnb for cars? Well, there is one – Urent is a new online platform that aims to revolutionise the UAE car rental industry. It is the first platform in MENA to offer peer-to-peer vehicle sharing which will ultimately create a whole community focusing on trust-building between two people as parties, one being the private vehicle owner and the other being the renter.

Cutting-edge solutions to help businesses streamline their operations and increase efficiency.
