The Airbnb of Car Rentals at Airports

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a marketplace that connects travelers flying into an airport with local car owners who want to rent out their cars and park them safely. Our product handles listings, bookings, insurance, and logistics around airport rentals, making it easy and cost-effective for both owners and renters to share vehicles at airports.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where most travelers and innovative startups are. It's also close to major airports and a natural place to pilot our airport-specific marketplace.
