LOS ANGELES -

Fox Rent-A-Car announced on Thursday its final acquisition of JustShareIt, a cloud-based peer-to-peer car sharing platform specifically designed to allow users to rent or share cars directly from individual car owners.

Over the past 12 months, Fox said it has worked alongside JustShareIt to integrate the mobile-friendly product with its platform so that Fox members can begin to pick up and drop off cars at a variety of decentralized locations.

“Fox's new mobile experience enables customers to reserve a car, bypass the rental counter and proceed directly to the car. Customers will then choose their vehicle and drive off,” the company said in a news release.

Currently, the new service is only ready for use at Los Angeles International Airport. Within a few months, it will become available at most of the car rental brand’s corporate locations, according to Fox.

"The new integrated platform will help Fox to not only offer the customers a rental at a much faster speed, but will also create new business models that are not currently available in car rental industry,” Fox co-chief executive officer Mike Jaberi said. "The JSI platform acquisition has enabled Fox to explore new opportunities in a hybrid model of car rental and car share at a much faster pace."

Additionally, Fox also announced that it is currently in discussions with two automobile manufacturers to fit a group of its fleet with connected car technology.

Fox now offers service at 19 major corporate owned airport locations throughout the U.S., along with more than 110 affiliate sites.
