Rentalcars.com has become the world's largest online car rental service through its industry leading innovation, always low prices, and customer service that cares. The business is now delivering cutting edge solutions for mobile devices with an app which has already achieved 2.3m downloads.

The award winning app contains many features that are designed to make the car hire experience easier for customers.  This includes an easy search and booking process, click-to-call customer service, and the ability to capture validated images of hire cars which the Rentalcars.com customer service team can immediately use to take up the customer's case in the event of any dispute over damage with a local supplier. The app also features all required documentation for pick-up, removing the need to print documents before travel.

Rentalcars.com CEO, Ian Brown, said, "We set out to design the best app for customers on the go: providing instant access to the world's largest range of cars and locations at the best prices, and creating peace of mind at every step of the journey. We are delighted that the World Travel Awards have recognised the great experience that our customers are enjoying with the Rentalcars.com app, and we have more exciting features in the pipeline."
