Introducing flexible, long-term rentals with Kyte

In the recent events around coronavirus, we are launching heavily discounted long-term rentals to provide everyone with safe, clean and reliable means of transportation during this period of crisis.

In the past week, we discovered two things: Commuters are looking for an alternative to public transport and shared ride hailing. Kyte was mentioned in this Mashable article as a way to avoid these forms of transport. In general, the public needs a reliable way of safe, private transportation to get out of the city in case the situation gets worse. This is even highlighted by the fact that all rental car businesses have been deemed as "essential" (by the city) and thus are exempt from upcoming business lockdowns.

In addition to the extra safety and cleanliness measures that we implemented last week, we see a certain responsibility in reacting to the crisis and doing what we are good at: rapidly building and shipping meaningful products that matter to people around us!

Huge kudos to the team for making this happen so quickly! Our supply team has been working hard on expanding our fleet and accessing affordable vehicles. Our product and engineering teams are working hard on integrating this product offering into our mobile and web product flow, and our operations team is getting these delivered to you now!

If you need a clean, reliable car for weeks or months, please take a look at our long-term rental discounts here: App or web. Contact us with any questions that you might have!
