Skurt

3113 S. LA CIENEGA BLVD., LOS ANGELES, CA, 90016, United States

Overview

Skurt operates an on-demand rental car delivery service that lets customers request a rental on their phone and receive a car within 60 minutes, with pick-up arranged when the renter is done. Customers only need to be 21, more than 80 percent are millennials, rentals include unlimited miles, and prices range from $21 per day for sedans to $59 per day for luxury cars. Skurt fills inventory by partnering with fleet owners — manufacturers with excess inventory, dealerships, and traditional rental companies — so it does not own vehicles and all cars are less than two years old. The company operates on iOS and Android in Los Angeles, San Diego and Miami and says it has delivered 'tens of thousands of cars.' Its model aims to combine the reliability of fleet vehicles with the convenience of delivery, positioning it between traditional rental companies and peer-to-peer services. Skurt plans to expand to other major U.S. cities during the next 12 months and recently raised a $10M Series A to support that growth. Skurt operates a service that delivers rental cars to customers by picking them up and bringing vehicles to their location. The company partners with independent car rental companies that have excess inventory, with partner fleets ranging from about 200 cars to over 2,000. Skurt currently has access to over 5,000 cars in Los Angeles and is operating at LAX. The service emphasizes a consistent, on-demand experience and aims to be significantly less expensive than some alternatives. Skurt plans to expand to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) soon. The offering is presented as a disruptive alternative to the large, incumbent rental companies.
