Sumsub, a full-cycle verification platform, is pleased to announce its collaboration with HoppyGo, a P2P carsharing company founded by Škoda, offering its clients a quick and easy way to rent a car through their mobile app.
By 2025, 43% of European drivers do not plan to own their own vehicle. It is also estimated that 7.5 million cars will be shared in Europe by 2035. Clearly, demand for affordable and flexible mobility will continue to grow, and the data suggests that convenient, affordable, and sustainable mobility will become more and more popular.
Digital identity fraud
As the carsharing sector grows, the need for efficient driver identity checks will only increase. Digital identity fraud is a big issue, particularly for the mobility industry, where insufficient driver checks can create real hazards on the road. According to Sumsub’s internal data, identity fraud in the mobility industry increased by 34% in Germany and by 18% in the UK last quarter.
Over the year, from Q2 2022 to Q2 2023, the identity fraud rate in the mobility industry in the Czech Republic increased 5.5 times. Meanwhile, in Spain, the overall ID fraud rate in the transportation sector grew above 4% in Q2 2023.
Sumsub’s solutions
HoppyGo chose Sumsub for KYC, age, document verification due to platform’s smooth user process
HoppyGo chose Sumsub for know your customer (KYC), age, document verification due to the platform’s smooth user onboarding process, high-quality driver licence checks, and strong fraud protection.
This collaboration aims to bring HoppyGo’s users more convenience when entering the service, all while ensuring that no underage driver or fraudster gets access to vehicles.
"We are very glad to start working with Sumsub, a pioneering identity verification platform offering customisable solutions for digital onboarding and fraud prevention. HoppyGo cares so much about drivers’ and owners’ safety and renting experience, and we’re happy to collaborate with the company sharing the same values and adhering to the highest standards.

Our goal is to ensure a safe and easy user experience for HoppyGo’s drivers and owners, and we are happy to contribute to the growth and sustainability of the digital renting sector."
