The partnership between Targa Telematics and Locauto goes from strength to strength with version 2.0 of Elefast – the innovative system from Locauto Rent. Using the app, you can rent a car in full self-service mode – to need to go to the rental desk
Since its debut two years ago, Elefast has revolutionised short-term rentals with the introduction of rapid, autonomous pick-up and booking procedures, freeing the user from the need to report to the booking desk.
Locauto is ready to move on to the next level and expand its customer base through important innovations developed by Targa Telematics. All ensuring a more rapid, convenient and above all immediate service. The watchword is: “ready to rent”!
Giuliano Benaglio, Smart Mobility Director of Locauto commented: „With this totally new version of Elefast, Locauto emerges as a pioneer in technological innovation and a leading player in car rentals. It’s a big step closer to the concept of Smart Mobility, a “citizen-friendly” mobility concept that’s high-tech with low environmental impact.“
„Elefast aims to meet user mobility requirements in a practical way,“ explains Silvia Salemi, Chief Marketing Officer of Targa Telematics. „Targa Telematics has taken care of not just the technology, but also all the essential aspects of innovative service delivery. With its mobile app, Elefast becomes a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) enabler, which gives the end-user a smarter customer experience.“
One of the biggest new developments is the extension of the vehicle booking and pick-up service. With the technological input of Telematics Targa, users can now utilise Elefast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the app for iOS and Android available in their stores.
Also, the new version of Elefast lets you book your car by choosing it right in the car park, or you can change an existing booking and choose a different car model, relying on an entire exclusive fleet.
It all happens with a few simple clicks. Elefast now combines the speed of car sharing and the benefits and security of Locauto Short Term Rental – this means you can always count on a clean car with a full tank, checked after each use. In addition, the technological platform of Targa Telematics designed specifically for the partner and its customers is connected to the operations center, providing driver assistance in all circumstances.
