Legal Name / Brand Names: MobiTech SAS; Virtuo

Overview:
Virtuo is a digital-first car rental supplier built around smartphone-led booking, access, and trip management. Unlike a broker or OTA, Virtuo directly operates a car rental service under its own brand. Its live proposition is centered on contactless rental, app onboarding, digital vehicle access, and premium or near-premium vehicle categories rather than the traditional rental-counter workflow.

Products and Services:
Virtuo allows customers to register in-app, validate their driving credentials, reserve a vehicle, unlock the car through a digital key, manage the rental, and report damage through the app. It also offers business-rental functionality, station pickup, and in some markets delivery. App-store descriptions and help content consistently present the service as a paperless, queue-free rental experience.

Geography and Markets:
Virtuo’s current public materials emphasize major European markets and cities, with country-specific legal and rental pages for multiple European jurisdictions. The service is aimed at urban users, airport travelers, and business customers who want a car for a day, a weekend, or longer without a desk visit.

Ownership and Corporate Structure:
Virtuo’s website legal page identifies the publishing company as MobiTech, a French simplified joint-stock company based in Paris. Public investor and industry sources continue to describe Virtuo as a private mobility and rental technology company rather than a sub-brand of a traditional car-rental group.
