April 6 (UPI) — Uber Technologies on Wednesday announced expansion plans to include buses, trains, planes and rental cars for its United Kingdom-based app users.

This is how to rent a car now, during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One year after the coronavirus outbreak, renting a car sure is a different experience. At least it is for someone like Alena Iskanderova.
