Rentennials started as a scrappy peer-to-peer car-sharing test in Mendoza and now helps travelers pick up a fully-insured vehicle in minutes across Argentina, Peru, Mexico and—most recently—Florida, USA.
In this candid conversation, founder Gerardo Germanó walks us through:
- Why “owning a car just to leave it parked” no longer makes sense
- Creating trust with rigorous, automated ID checks while keeping the UX friction-free
- A niche entry strategy focused on Latin-American tourists underserved by Turo
- Bootstrapping marketplace liquidity city-by-city with soft-launch campaigns
- Closing Friends-&-Family and Pre-Seed rounds—and opening a Seed today
- Building a culture where the team eats together every Friday—and customers rave that Rentennials is “much better than Turo”
Whether you’re a founder, investor or mobility geek, this episode is packed with lessons on scaling asset-light marketplaces across borders.
