As far as I can see, the potential is not so much about the airport rental stuff, because that market is "quite" small, but a very strong use case to launch out of and to get momentum to become the AirBnb for cars and to surpass getaround, relaycars, DriveNow etc.

We're actually just focused on airports. That's half of the market!

Hm very interesting, but how so? The average person probably doesn't use their car because it's at the airport for 200h/year, but doesn't use their car for 8000h/year in total, where it could be used by someone else.

It's probably easier if you can have a car for 10 days straight instead of just an afternoon, but that's where you want to be or not?
