Beepy, the Airbnb for cars in México, where private car owners can have extra income with their cars, people searching a car will have more options and cities will benefit by reducing fleet size.
Current Status
We launched the MVP on Jan 2023, we currently have 190+ cars and 690+ users, we are still on the ramp up and have had 50+ operations and are noticing a rapid growth of interest.
Problem or Opportunity
Car rental in Mexico is: expensive, confusing (on charges), untrustworthy (reservations not honored), complicated and slow.
Car owning in México can cost up to US$800 per month and in average these cars are parked 22 hrs/day.
Car manufacturing produces 0.6 Tons of CO2 per unit, plus traffic.
Solution (product or service)
Beepy is an app that connects car owners with car renters in a handy (app), counter less, fast and cost effective way with a wider variety of cars, this increases occupation of current fleets in cities, reducing the need for new cars and therefore Carbon print and generating an extra income for the owner.
Business model
Car owners upload their cars so that other private or corporate users can rent them, Beepy charges a 15% commission on rental and gets an 8% commission on all insurance sold (included in every rental). We are planning on generating revenue from data mining in the future.
