A 20 years old engineering student in France, young Cameroonian Agnès Happy just launched in Douala, the economic capital of her country, the application “Happy Car”. Developed by the start-up of the same name, we learned, this mobile app available on android can be used to rent a car from local companies, in just a few clicks.

This invention, the Happy Car sponsors explain, is about taking advantage of the penetration rate of mobile internet and smartphones in the Cameroonian population's customs, to “modernise car rental companies by bringing their services into the digital world, and offering to the Cameroonian people a high class, fast and simple service”.

Happy Car comes on a market where already present competitors such as Taxi Vairified are or Cardispo, Cameroonian apps which, with some slight differences, are all meant to simplify car rentals in the two main cities of the country.
