Case Study: Coastr achieves contactless car rentals with Smartcar

How Coastr drives a digital future for mobility players in vehicle rentals

Coastr, a vehicle rental software provider, wanted to modernize the rental experience for operators and end customers by replacing clunky, legacy processes with a more convenient, contactless model. To do that, Coastr turned to **Smartcar** and its car API platform to help enable keyless vehicle access across multiple car brands.

Using **Smartcar’s API** and Smartcar Connect, Coastr integrated remote lock and unlock capabilities into its app so rental operators could onboard connected vehicles with a few clicks and offer 24/7, contactless rentals. The result was a simpler, more scalable rental workflow that reduced queues and wait times, lowered operating effort and costs, and also supported additional use cases such as stolen vehicle recovery, immobilization, predictive maintenance, and fleet insurance.
