'Covid and criminals ruined my Airbnb for cars idea'
The idea for Karshare was inspired by a trip to the US, where he had a bad car-hire experience and noticed the impact of Airbnb. Karshare sorted out an insurance policy, the valeting of cars and key transfer. The company pivoted in 2021 to allow people to rent their cars from their homes instead. It also installed a special keyless system for cars, so that people wouldn't have to wait around for someone to hand over the key. Criminals had realised they could hire cars more easily and cheaply this way, as opposed to going to car rental offices in person. For users, obviously the thought that criminals might use your car is off-putting.
