Do you know that your car can turn into a money making machine even when you are not using it? WhipCar, a car rental website enables motorists to register their cars for renting ranging from few hours to few weeks to their neighborhood.

You can register on the website for free and rent out your car without creating an impact on insurance. The average cost of car ownership stands at £5,523 per year and for most of the people their car is their most valuable idle asset.

As per Vinay Gupta, WhipCar:

Our research has shown that there are many people who would be happy to pay for car rental services if they could be delivered locally. WhipCar enables owners to put their cars to work, and for those in need they can literally rent the car next door.


The company claims that it is world's first neighbor to neighbor car rental service and it also aims to promote the concept of green by bringing down the number of cars running on the road.

The website aims to change the concept of car usage and ownership in UK where more than 29 million registered cars on the road lie idle for more than 23 hours a day. Signing up for the service is free but the website charges 15% commission on car rental cost and notifies owners by text and email when there is an approved driver in the area looking to use the car.

All cars and drivers are screened by the company before booking is completed and every journey is insured through comprehensive insurance package.

If you live in Australia and own a car then check this out!! An online community by the name of DriveMyCarRentals.com.au has been launched in Australia which brings together drivers and car owners looking for an alternative to traditional car rental companies. It gives car owners an alternative to offset depreciation, bring down the cost of vehicle or make some extra cash by renting out their vehicle when it is not being put to use.

Car owners have the liberty of choosing the time length for which their car is available and the price is calculated automatically with a rate calculator. They have the option of either accepting or rejecting lease requests and all the drivers looking forward to lease their cars must provide a full RTA driver history. It has an alliance with Yellow Brick Road General Insurance Brokers so renters don't need to worry if their car meets an accident. Even drivers can smile as it offers the largest make and model of cars as compared to any other car rental company in the world.

By paying just $25, a person can list his car on the website with full description, photograph and details of the driver requirements. A premium service is also offered to the members who would like the whole rental process to be managed for them.

Why waste money on a new car in these tough times when you can get a used one which is as good as new? Sounds a logical suggestion, after all what you want at the end of the day is a good comfortable car and not a new tag to prove its worthy.

Hertz Car Rental which is one of the known car rental around the world sell off their brand new car after one year of operation and this could mean immense savings for you. Also you get the benefit of saving depreciation and receive a car which is still under factory warranty. Hertz sends all those cars which have crossed the year mark to a sales facility where they are thoroughly inspected for everything ranging from dents and dings to any other mechanical fault. Cars which don't pass the inspection test are unloaded through other channels and only the best cars reach the Hertz Car Sales lot.

Cars like these are ideal for people who understand the value of money better than others. So if you feel that buying a new car is like putting your money down the drain then cars standing in the sales lot of Hertz would be an intelligent option for you.
