ValueTope Secures Major Funding

ValueTope Inc., a leading player in the mobility sector, has recently announced a successful funding round, raising a total of 100 million yen through a third-party allotment led by i-nest capital. Based in Shibuya, Tokyo, the company specializes in providing a completely unmanned 24-hour car rental service known as All-Time Rentacar. This strategic investment aims to advance their presence in the metropolitan areas surrounding the Yamanote Line, enhancing convenience and mobility for users.

The newly raised capital will primarily accelerate the development of rental stations in Tokyo's heart, focusing on areas around all Yamanote Line stations and their vicinity. ValueTope has also entered into a capital and business partnership with i-id, a contributing investor, to leverage advanced technologies, particularly an innovative smart lock system called "Virtual Key," co-developed with Jigowatt. This partnership is positioned to support unmanned services and facilitate a more expansive deployment of digital transformation (DX) mobility solutions.

About All-Time Rentacar

The All-Time Rentacar service allows users to make reservations, unlock vehicles, return rental cars, and process payments completely online and unmanned, operating 24/7. Currently available in select areas along the Yamanote Line, including Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ebisu, and Gotanda, the service has already attracted over 20,000 registered members as of June 2025. This approachable and cost-effective alternative to car ownership resonates particularly with younger consumers for leisure activities and urban business needs alike.

As the trend shifts from car ownership toward using vehicles only when necessary, All-Time Rentacar fits seamlessly into modern urban life, offering a convenient transportation option.
