Case Study: Hyre scales cross-border car sharing with Signicat's digital identity solution

Hyre enables car access in 5 minutes with Signicat

Hyre, a car sharing service based in the Nordics, faced the challenge of scaling its business across borders. They needed to verify the identity, age, and valid driver's license of new customers without meeting them in person, a process that was cumbersome and would have hindered their expansion. To solve this, they turned to vendor Signicat for a digital identity solution.

Signicat implemented a solution that allowed Hyre's customers to onboard using their national eIDs, such as BankID in Norway and Sweden or MitID in Denmark. This provided immediate validation of all required credentials. The result was an incredibly fast implementation, with Signicat completing the complex login process in just five days instead of a potential six months. This enabled Hyre to onboard new drivers in minutes, directly supporting their rapid growth and making them the largest car sharing service in the Nordics.
