A car sharing platform for campuses, Wheelz enables students to generate an income by renting their vehicles to people they know that they can trust. This P2P platform does for campuses what websites like RelayRides and Zimride do for neighborhoods, and for society on the whole. This young startup lets students and other campus dwellers connect among themselves through a Facebook-enabled website and an iPhone app. And a proprietary in-car hardware system called DriveBox is used to let users of the site unlock any car they’ve rented.
That’s the most remarkable aspect of the whole service, actually. DriveBox empowers Wheelz members to unlock a car using the startup’s iPhone app, or the card they get when signing up for Wheelz. DriveBox is installed for free into the vehicles of Wheelz members, and the process takes no longer than 1 hour. Such a feature is really interesting, as it obliterates the need to meet in person just to hand keys over, and it’s also something that will resonate with those who don’t feel like making key copies.
All of the cars listed on Wheelz have hourly and daily prices, and these are determined by the car owners themselves. And it’s also possible to set down weekly share prices, in a bid to entice users even more.
All of the cars that can be rented through the site are subject to the company’s own insurance, and this insurance doesn’t void or affect existing auto insurances.
