The solution was launched by Jean-Fabrice Gnohi, the owner of a tourism company in France. Besides allowing users to rent cars, it also allows car owners to earn money by renting out their cars.

Monbolide is a digital solution developed by an Ivorian startup. It allows users to easily rent luxury cars.

Through its mobile applications -available for Android and iOS devices, users can create the accounts they need to access the cars available for rental. Besides the account, there is no requirement or step to take to be able to rent cars with Monbolide.  

The solution lists cars for every budget. For instance, the 2016 Mercedes costs CFAF150,000 (about $244) daily, while a Range Rover Sport can be rented at CFAF250,000 per day, and a  2011 Peugeot at CFAF30,000 per day.

Users can also book the specific brands they need. In this case, they need to provide information like the location, and the rental start and end dates.

The solution also allows individuals to rent out their cars. They just need to follow the required process. Thanks to one of Monbolide’s partners, they can install a tracker in their cars to know their positions at any time.  Currently, Monbolide only operates in  Côte d'Ivoire but it plans to expand to other West African countries.
