About 'All Time Rent-a-Car' 'All Time Rent-a-Car' is an unmanned rental service that combines the convenience of car sharing with the affordability of traditional rental systems. Users can reserve, search, and access vehicles (renting and returning) using only a smartphone app, making the service accessible 24 hours a day without being restricted by store operating hours.

The service utilizes the 'Virtual Key' smart lock system (developed by IID, Inc. and Jigowatts, Inc.), which replaces physical car keys with smartphone functionality. Additionally, it operates using 'Kuruma Base,' a mobility-as-a-service platform developed and managed by Smartvalue Co., Ltd.
