(Pocket-lint) – Uber now offers car hire in the UK via its smartphone app.

Uber Rent is operated in conjunction with CarTrawler and allows users to book and rent a car from locations nationwide. Additionally, if a user needs to take an Uber taxi to the rental location, the taxi service offers a £10 discount on the journey.

The Uber Rent tile is now available in the Uber app (once updated) and all you have to do is enter your rental settings and then browse the Marketplace for available cars for the date and the place chosen.

Choose the car you like and go get it. Reservations can be made up to the time of pick-up.

Cancellations are free up to 48 hours before picking up the car.

“The UK boasts one of the largest rental markets in the world, at Uber we are growing our business to be the ultimate travel app and in the UK that means delivering a top-notch rental to our users,” Uber Chief Executive Andrew Brem said.

“:Uber Rent will not only provide a seamless and efficient booking experience, but will offer Uber Credits back on every booking.”

Uber Rent also works in Spain, Portugal, Italy, the United States and Switzerland, whether you are traveling to these countries or you are a resident there.
