Toyota Motor Corporation announces the nationwide rollout in
Japan of "Toyota Share," a car-sharing service provided by Toyota
dealers and Toyota rental and leasing branches, and "Chokunori," a
new unmanned rent-a-car service. Both services will be available
starting on October 28.
Toyota is working to provide new mobility services with deep local
ties by collaborating with nationwide Toyota dealers and Toyota
rental and leasing branches with the aim of becoming a mobility
company in a once-in-a-century transformational period.
Toyota will provide a range of mobility services to fulfill the
diversifying automobile needs of customers as a shift is made from
car ownership to car use. Toyota has been conducting verification
tests, mainly in the Tokyo region, of Toyota Share since January
2019 and of Chokunori since May 2019.
Service structures were created including the construction of
nationwide common systems and development of apps and devices based
on the opinions and comments received from customers through the
verification tests regarding the vehicle quality expected from a
manufacturer and comments related to apps.
Going forward, services will be expanded in stages with a focus on
Toyota dealers and Toyota rental and leasing branches as
preparations are completed.
With the launch of Toyota Share and Chokunori as an add-on to
Toyota rent-a-car services, Toyota seeks to respond to an even
broader range of user needs, creating opportunities for customers
to effortlessly use various vehicles, enriching the car-based
lifestyles of customers, and increasing the number of car
enthusiasts.
