'Pandemic and Crime Foil Car-Sharing Airbnb Concept'

London-based start-up Karshare, described as "like Airbnb, but for car sharing," failed this year due to the double impact of Covid-19 and the Ukraine war. The company initially partnered with Gatwick Airport, allowing people to rent out their cars to tourists visiting the country. However, the travel industry stalled due to the pandemic, forcing Karshare to pivot and allow people to rent their cars from their homes instead. The company faced another setback when criminals exploited the system, using the platform to hire cars for illicit activities. Despite the closure of Karshare, founder Andy Hibbert remains optimistic and is exploring opportunities in sustainable farming technology.
