Skurt fills an important gap in the transportation space for sure. I actually like using Enterprise because they come pick me up but I still have to go back to the rental place for paperwork etc which eats into my time. This app takes care of that - giving me time and adding Uber-like predictability to when I can get going. Also just the fact that @everette is involved should tell you that this is something worth checking out. PS: Y U No in Boston yet? :D

@anujadhiya thank you very much. We're often compared to the Enterprise pick-you-up service, but never quite understood why. Their main business is insurance replacement, so that offering was unique and made total sense for their customer who may have been stuck at the body shop having handed in their car for repairs. Hats off to Enterprise for early innovation there. We agree with you though, having your car delivered right to your door, or body shop for that matter - wins every time!

@anujadhiya You're far too kind man, appreciate that. Yeah we know that having to go back to the rental car location and fill out paperwork is a huge pain point. We're glad to be able to alleviate that for our customers. Boston is somewhere we definitely want to be someday =)

I've been a big fan of Skurt since they started. WAYYYY better than dealing with old school Avis/Hertz/etc. car rental services. Instead of waiting in line, Skurt delivers the car to you. They just released an Android app and since their initial launch, they've expanded to two other cities beyond LA: Miami and San Diego. Still waiting for Skurt to come to San Francisco. 🙏🏼

@johnkyeremeh which Canadian cities do you think we should launch first? We've had a ton of requests for Toronto.

@harryhur5t Definitely Toronto or Vancouver first! Since it's right beside a bunch of major universities (Guelph, Hamiton, Kitchener-Waterloo) which would have your audience demographic and there isn't much transportation options yet.

Skurt 2.0

Maker

Hey all, we've built both our iOS and Android apps from ground up in the past 4 months with @luskin and @tonyteate. We went full Swift on iOS. It heavily relies on PromiseKit. We built a few internal libraries that we will be open-sourcing soon. Our Android app is fully native as well. It's built with flux architecture, leveraging RXJava. We are using Swagger to auto-generated our internal SDKs on both platforms which allowed us to iterate super fast. We'll be around all day. Would be more than happy to answer any technical questions.

@icanberk Yeah @luskin (iOS) and @tonyteate (Android) did an amazing job (biased of course). The app has come a long way since it was launched in October 2015.

Man Skurt has saved me and my business partner on several occasions. Easy to use app. Would love to see it launched in New Jersey because there a parts of New Jersey that really has poor public transportation.

@therealkofi thanks for the support! New York is our most highly requested city, we'll likely expand to NJ from there soon after.

@therealkofi Can't wait to expand more on the east coast, I've definitely experienced NJ's public transportation system so I feel your pain.

Keen to try this out as I've had so many bad rental experiences. Can you do airport pickups and any plans to expand to other cities?

Report

@frank_denbow Hey Frank, we currently do not deliver inside of the airport but many of our customers get their car delivered right outside of the airport or to wherever they are staying (hotel/airbnb). Definitely plans to expand to other cities, stay tuned.

Unlike a lot of apps, I was still able to download this in the UK even though I know it is only for a few cities right now. Will try it in my next visit to LA for sure.

@therealsjr I'm actually from London originally, do you think there's a market for Skurt over there? I believe there is, especially in the areas just outside the congestion zone. We accept international drivers licenses so next time you're over here check us out!

@harryhur5t @therealsjr zipcar is big here and a few others like e-car club, but the level of convenience of your offering would definitely blow them out of the water.

I love Uber and Lyft, but the problem of course is if you want wheels when you're out of town for a weekend or whatever, those rides really add up. Skurt makes it super easy to just click, get a car, and be on your way. No waiting at counters, hiking it to rental car garages, nothing. Congrats Skurt team!

@morganb thanks! We share the same sentiment here, Uber and Lyft are awesome for that short A-B journey. Anything longer and it starts to make a bunch more sense to have your own wheels.

@morganb appreciate the support @morganb - a lot of users find ridesharing impractical for a a lot of use cases. That's where Skurt comes in.
