Shiny New Whipcar

08Dec11

We’ve just unwrapped our shiny new website at WhipCar.com.

What we had built was getting a little dusty and lots of people seemed to be copying us (hello America) so we thought it was time for a shakeup. You’ll find it’s now much easier to find your way around. All the important information is now at your fingertips on our new ‘Your dashboard’ page.

There are 2 brand new sections to check out. For Drivers there’s a ‘Your WhipCars’ page – our recommendations for your next WhipCar rental based on a top secret algorithm. WhipCar owners get a really useful ‘Market your Car’ tool kit – so they can spread the word that their car is available.

You guys are a big part of the WhipCar experience and we’re constantly asked if we can make it easier for you to find out more about each other before the keys are picked up. So to get the most out of WhipCar from now on, owners will need to add 4 car photos to their listing and drivers will need to upload a photo of themselves before they can make a booking.

WhipCar is all about connecting people, so we thought we should make things a bit more sociable and use your social network to help you find local drivers or choose the right car. Connect your Facebook or Twitter account and bookings will be even easier. Members trust each other more when their profile is authenticated.

That’s all for now. There’s lots more to come in the new year. Have a great December!
