A Smarter Way to Run a Car Hire Business
Aura combines the professionalism of a traditional rental company with the efficiency of modern technology.
Customers can:
Book online.
Verify their driving licence.
Access their vehicle using the Aura App.
Complete their rental without visiting a rental desk.
Meanwhile, our central customer support team manages customer enquiries, allowing franchisees to focus on expanding their fleet and developing their business.
Start Part-Time and Grow at Your Own Pace
Many franchisees begin while continuing in full-time employment or operating another business.
Because bookings, customer verification and payments are automated, and our customer support centre handles customer calls, the business can be managed alongside your existing commitments.
As your fleet grows, you decide when the time is right to move into the business full-time.
Low Initial Investment
Launching an Aura Car Hire franchise is more affordable than many traditional franchise opportunities.
Franchise Fee
