CarTrawler is opening up social media retailing for travel companies via a Facebook application based on its open source technology.
The app gives consumers access to CarTrawler’s 30,000 city and airport car-rental locations across the world.
The Facebook development follows the launch last October of a mobile car rental app for travel partners and a service mapping car-rental results.
The source code for the app is available to download from the company’s website.
