One of my pet hates, having endured a tiring flight, is to then go through the annoying rigmarole that characterises renting a car at an airport. I was therefore interested to read about Skurt which aims to remove the hassle.

Skurt is a new Los Angeles-based service that enables visitors to order a rental car via an app and have it delivered to them by an agent at the arrivals terminal. Users can confirm and pay for the hire through the app. Upon landing, they are be met by a representative and then  escorted to their rental car directly outside. No shuttle bus, no queues, no paperwork to complete.

It sounds like a great service which any weary traveller would appreciate – wherever they’re landing. Who will be first to bring something similar to the UK?
