Strategic alliance powers the seamless optimization and management of both subscription and gig fleets for dealers and manufacturers
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the carsharing marketplace for ridesharing, today announced a partnership with Clutch Technologies, a Cox Automotive brand and the pioneer of subscription and mobility services software for the automotive industry. Together, HyreCar and Clutch will bring to market an industry-first mobility solution enabling shared fleet offerings paired with on-demand. This powerful collaboration provides dealers, OEMs and other providers with an all-inclusive solution to leverage the shift from automotive ownership to access and consumer demand for mobility alternatives.
Dealerships currently using Clutch can seamlessly integrate vehicle inventory on the HyreCar platform, connecting them directly with rideshare drivers to earn incremental recurring revenue.

AmeriDrive, operator of one of the largest subscription fleets in North America, is the partnership’s first mutual customer. With HyreCar and Clutch, AmeriDrive provides an alternative to vehicle ownership, enabling customers to select the vehicle, payment and term most suitable for their needs, including both gig options and affordable subscription alternatives. This joint offering will also help AmeriDrive more efficiently manage and optimize their fleets using real-time visibility into consumer driving patterns.
