This startup wants to turn idle user car inventory into rental revenue
Startup MyMonthlyCar is launching a platform to help car dealerships rent out their idle used vehicle inventory on a month-to-month basis. The service aims to provide flexible options for consumers while offering dealers a potential rent-to-own sales channel.
Why it matters
It addresses the inefficiency of depreciating dealership inventory while providing a new financing-adjacent model for consumers who cannot commit to traditional long-term car loans.
When Igor Dobrianskyi looks at a car dealership lot, he sees a wasted opportunity.
“Millions and millions of used cars are sitting on parking lots, depreciating and losing value,” Dobrianskyi said in a recent interview, adding that there are 76,000 dealerships in the United States. “At the same time, there are people who need a car for a few months, but the options are actually very limited and expensive.”
Dobrianskyi’s new startup, MyMonthlyCar , aims to connect both sides of that equation through an online platform that offers flexible month-to-month rentals from local dealerships. MyMonthlyCar was selected for the 2026 Startup Battlefield 200 , a cohort of promising early-stage startups that have earned a spot to exhibit at this year’s TechCrunch Disrupt. This year’s TechCrunch Disrupt will be held October 13 to 15 in San Francisco.
