Flight Car:Turn,Spark,Ignite

They turned the key to a great idea. They’ve sparked in San Francisco Airport. Now, we wait, to see them ignite and take over the car-sharing economy at airports.

Flight Car built a strong platform from an awesome idea this past summer at The Brandery. Capitalizing on the trend towards a shared economy, FlightCar lets people parking at the airport rent their vehicles out to other travelers. On any given day, thousands of individuals park their cars at an airport, while a similarly large amount of people rent cars. Two cars in place of one= Hello inefficiency. On February 1^st, FlightCar opened their first hub at San Francisco Airport. San Fran is a pilot program that will allow them to revise their strategy, learn best practices, and create a template to expand their services to airports across the country. On one hand, these guys are flying by the seat of their pants, pulling the pieces together. Their small team does jobs as packages, like “CEO and Driver” or “Developer and Car Washer.” For them, it’s all in a days work and all for the betterment of the company.

Thus far, the biggest challenges have centered around third party providers and challenges in finalizing contracts. This has forced them to push deadlines in some cases and move forward without getting all the “ducks in a line,” in others. Either way, the critical parts are in place, people are happily renting and leaving cars in FlightCar's hands.

 Rent a FlightCar. Save money. Join the movement.
