manage cars,\u201d said Luke Henwood, CEO of FutureRent. \u201cWe built it to rethink the relationship people have with mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This app is the foundation of a platform that rewards good drivers, simplifies ownership and puts control back where it belongs, with the customer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About FutureRent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FutureRent is a Cape
