SHOW & GO MOBILE DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND

First Car Rental’s recently launched Show & Go mobile checkout feature is proving to be a great success amongst its corporate customers as they fly into airports and fly out of First Car Rental, not wasting a second.

Available only to First Car Rental’s corporate tier and only at OR Tambo, Cape Town and King Skaka International Airports, First Car Rental’s Show & Go Mobile offers renters access to much more than just car hire.

Benefits

The Show & Go Mobile Checkout feature is a world-first, time-saving and highly convenient mobile checkout facility for those wanting to save time, avoid branches, queues and paperwork as they literally walk from airport arrivals straight to the rental car checking out in less than a minute.

Latest Stats

Since the launch of Show & Go Mobile in September 2011, the Show & Go programme has grown by 29%. Show & Go Mobile now represents 24% of all Show & Go checkouts. In September 2011, it was only 3%, and in January 2012 it was 24% of all January Show & Go check-outs and this figure is expected to climb to 33.3% by April 2012.

Comments Storey, “This is a pleasing upward trend and I believe that by April 2012, less than 6 months from our initial launch at First Car Rental Cape Town International branch, a third of all Show & Go renters will be mobile active. The key is to get Show & Go customers mobile ready."

How Show and Go Mobile Works in 6 Easy Steps
1 A car rental booking is made online. Show and Go Mobile from First Car Rental Wastes no Time
2 The renter arrives at airport arrivals and makes their way to the First Car Rental Show & Go collection and termination zone where their car is parked, bypassing the branch completely.
3 A staff member is waiting within this dedicated area with a mobile checkout device to check out the renter by tending to a simple verification process such as ‘does this photo look like the renter’?
4 First Car Rental staff has a pre-prepared check-sheet and walks around the vehicle with the renter to ensure they agree on the vehicle condition.
5 The renter’s Show & Go card is ‘snapped’ by the mobile device and the renter is voice-recorded agreeing with the check-sheet.
6 There is no signature required. The client is ready to go in less than a minute. When the renter returns the vehicle, it is parked where they picked it up from, which is the closest parking available to the airport and branch. They drop their keys into the Show & Go key drop safe and off they go back to the airport.
