Our take

Virtuo is a high-end car rental startup. The vision of the company is based on the idea that clients using Uber in cities will use Virtuo for weekend and holiday trips, creating a network effect amongst their happy clients resulting in increased usage of the company's services.

The company differentiates itself through its aspiration to provide a premium and seamless customer experience, allowing users to book and unlock cars through the Virtuo app, access premium cars like Mercedes and BMW and ensure 24/7 availability.

Virtuo's founder has a long history within the car industry, meaning the company is backed with expertise. Further, Virtuo anticipates that more and more people living in cities will want the comfort of a private car without the hassle of having to own it and have set their sights on further international expansion to capitalise on this.
