With the acquisition of Olacar Lolocar enters Uruguay with about 90 cars and plans to hit 400 vehicles registered by next year.

“This will allow us to start strongly in Uruguay, inheriting the OlaCar market, which already had an important community created around carsharing,” said Enrique Cabo, CEO of LoloCar.
