Ekar has tied up with CarPro, a car rental fleet management platform, the Dubai-based carshare operator said in a statement Monday.

CarPro will integrate ekar's platform within its fleet management software, allowing car rental companies to enable vehicles onto the ekar app and benefit from a fully contactless rental process, increased fleet utilization, driver behavior analytics, and real-time vehicle tracking.

“Car rental companies are now embracing more innovative mobility options, recognizing that traditional rental processes are costly, inefficient, and sub-optimal in a digital world that values contact-free solutions," said Vilhelm Hedberg, who founded ekar in 2016.
