Discover Cars aggregates 500 rental companies. The relocation scouting use case: a 14 day rental in a destination city before signing a lease.
The structural relocator use case is the 14 day scouting trip. Fly to a candidate city, take a car for 14 days, drive every shortlist neighborhood, time the commute, sit in cafes for two days, decide. Without a car, scouting is materially slower in cities below 1 million population and effectively impossible in suburbs (Austin, Phoenix, Lisbon's Cascais axis, Madrid's outer rings).
