The inspiration to create UFODRIVE.com struck our CEO, Aidan McClean after many frustrating car rental experiences. His experience motivated him to solve a problem he knows many busy travelers are facing every day.
“Following another particularly poor customer experience at a major European Airport involving a long queue at the car rental booth, confusing insurance and extras options, pushy sales reps, a slow paper-based process and then trying to find the car, which wasn’t the model ordered, I decided there was going to be a better way!”
“When I returned the car, I was hit with more unexpected extra charges. The whole rental cost double what was advertised - I had enough!”
On the flight home Aidan sketched out the concept for a car rental experience, from a totally customer-centric perspective and these are now our guiding principles:
Easy booking
No queuing
Arrive and Drive
No paperwork
Great cars
Transparent all-inclusive
& simple pricing
No confusing
insurance options
No refueling
Great value for
money
Partnering with COO, Renaud Marquet, they set out to examine the car rental business in detail and understand what customers really want. In tandem they studied the coming revolution in electric cars.
The electric revolution is upon us. It’s not when, it’s now! The transition is accelerating and the doubtful should just try it. The performance, simplicity and thrill of electric is superior to the old combustion experience - all without a poisonous gas! Charging and range are solved and advancing each day. Electric driving is a habit change, one you will not want to turn back from!
