Uqey is an unmanned car rental app that connects car rental companies with users. Since the entire process—from booking and picking up a car to returning it and making a payment—can be completed through the smartphone app, car rental companies can operate unmanned, leading to increased operational efficiency and reduced labor costs. Car rental users can depart immediately without waiting at a rental counter. Because it's a highly convenient service for both car rental companies and users, it's gaining popularity nationwide.

Uqey allows users to unlock and lock their cars using a smartphone app simply by placing a dedicated box in the vehicle. Furthermore, since users register their driver's license and credit card in the app beforehand, no in-store procedures are required, enabling unmanned car rental operations.

Uqey is operated by Tokai Rika Co., Ltd. We are a Toyota-affiliated parts manufacturer that has been producing automotive keys and other interior components for approximately 70 years. You can rest assured that our services leverage the high level of technical expertise and quality cultivated in the automotive industry.

No vehicle modifications are required. With Uqey, you simply place a dedicated box in your car, and you can lock and unlock your car using a smartphone app. It can be implemented immediately, and there are no modification costs.

By implementing Uqey, you can eliminate the need for counter services and significantly reduce labor costs. Furthermore, by operating unmanned, you are no longer bound by business hours, allowing you to meet the needs of customers in the early morning or late at night, which is expected to increase revenue. You can also attract more customers by receiving reservations from Uqey members.

Rental car rates can be set by Uqey member stores. You can freely change the rates to suit peak seasons and other factors.

You can also check for damage to the car using the app. Before renting a car and upon return, we ask the rental user to check for damage and, if there is any, take a photo and report it on the app. If the user does not report any damage and significant damage is found after the car is returned, we can charge the repair costs through the Uqey system. You can also check the screen during our meeting, so please feel free to contact us.
