Used them once and worked like a charm! So much better experience than normal rental car companies. I highly recommend and I already booked my second trip.

@fabricpound many more trips to come! 😃Thanks for your feedback Juhana!

I'm biased but love Kyte. My wife gets annoyed at me for suggesting we get rid of our cars and Kyte everywhere.
Francesco Wiedemann
@aaronmichel 😃 I think this would actually be a great idea!!

@taige thank you! 🙏

Great service! If you don't need a car on a regular basis and don't want to spend too much money on Turo or Zipcar — choose Kyte. It's very flexible: order with 2 hour lead time and extend / shorten the trip 2 hours before trip end time. In terms of pricing it's almost as good as if you got a rental car from SFO. On top of that, they refuel with local gas prices and have FasTrak with no additional fees. Highly recommend

@olancheg thank you!! More great features to come soon! 👍

Used it in the early days. They had excellent service and it's good to see their official launch. This product is much needed for people with little time. Especially in this decade our generation is switching to an ownership-free life without a car. Whenever I rent a car for the medium term I lose so much time With pickup, gas refilling, and other cleaning issues. On top of that, transport to and from the car rental place doesn't improve my mood either. It's a total nuisance. Kyte may serve a niche, but it's product that is so much needed for those people, and believe they can go far with this model. Go Kyte!

@loek_janssen thank you. You are right that it might seem a bit nichy for now but we actually believe there is a larger product opportunity out there by rethinking rentals in general and augmenting/replacing more and more components of the traditional model.

Kyte is essentially the perfect rental car service. Not only does the lack of rental center (e.g., airport) infrastructure cut millions of savings from the value chain that they can then pass on to customers but the fact that they deliver and pick-up wherever you need is a lifesaver. Couldn't recommend them enthusiastically enough!
Francesco Wiedemann
@aaron_mitchell_finegold you got it, we're glad we can count you as one of our early customers! 🎉

Kyte is the only way anybody should ever be renting cars. They take all the pain of dealing with rental car companies away, and leave you with the keys to a new vehicle whenever and wherever you want. I've spent many hours waiting in lines and dealing with horrible customer service at the traditional rental car companies. Their computers look like they're still running Windows XP. I couldn't recommend Kyte more! They're affordable, convenient, and easy!

@jonathangary thank you for the feedback. yea definitely a bunch of reflections that we realized as well when thinking about this end2end experience

Congrats @ludwig_schoenack and team! Go Bears!

Very convenient, not more expensive than other car rentals. Since our car got totaled by a hit and run 2 months ago we used KYTE 3 times with a # 4 coming up. Looking forward to a slightly wider selection (smaller cars for San Francisco and hatchback cars). But it is not a deal breaker. Thumbs up!
Nikolaus Volk
@cgaliena thank you Cecilia! Good feedback, yes we are in fact working on the selection as well, so far we were optimizing for simplicity mainly.
Nikolaus Volk
@cgaliena It definitely makes us happy that you are enjoying the service so far. Please always let us know any improvements that come into your mind. We want to continue to learn from good customers like you!
