About Locomute

Locomute is offers consumers a more tech-savvy and flexible approach to car rentals and transportation. Locomute allows its members, which it calls Locomuters, to access any of their cars parked throughout South Africa. The locations of available Locomute cars can be found online or through a smartphone app. Members reserve a car online or via the Locomute App, and to use the car a member swipes a smartcard over a card reader on the windshield. Locomuters have around-the-clock access to a pool of vehicles located within designated zones, called Locoparks.
