Those interested in renting a car can find in Localiza, Movida and Hertz Rent-a-Car apps, for example, useful services for the task. Available on Android or iPhone (iOS) phones, free platforms promise to optimize customer time by allowing the entire procedure to be virtual. The software is useful for those who prefer this kind of transportation, which can be booked through specialized rental companies or directly with car owners.
