Toyota Motor Europe personalizes car rentals with intelligent assistant

Use case typeConversational assistantsUpdated Jun 13, 2026

Toyota Motor Europe, partnering with IBM Consulting, participated in a Copilot Hackathon to create IntelliRent—an AI-driven digital assistant for their car rental services. The project aimed to reduce routine customer service barriers and provide a more efficient, personalized, and seamless booking experience. IntelliRent leverages Microsoft Copilot to enable conversational booking and integrates both in-house and third-party applications for localized support, real-time reservations, and targeted promotions. With 24/7 customer engagement, the implementation demonstrates how AI-driven conversational agents can streamline automotive service operations, personalize customer touchpoints, and automate routine interactions. The hackathon context allowed rapid prototyping and demonstrated substantial business impact, suggesting a model for scalable AI integration in automotive customer service.
