CARBOOKR

CARBOOKR operates as a B2B marketplace for vehicle rentals, focusing on the corporate travel sector. Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Job and Frederi Villa Vega, the company emerged from the founders' extensive experience in the car rental industry, notably at Avis Budget Group. Both Job, who progressed from agency manager to regional sales director, and Villa Vega, who directed reservation systems, identified a need to modernize the B2B rental market.

Headquartered in Marseille, France, Carbookr functions as a technology platform that aggregates and connects vehicle rental companies with businesses and travel management companies (TMCs). The business model generates revenue through commissions as a business provider for rental companies and by licensing its platform as a SaaS solution, particularly to travel websites. This dual approach allows it to serve a diverse client base, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to larger corporations that may already have negotiated rates with specific rental providers. By integrating these pre-negotiated rates, the platform enables clients to compare their contracted prices against the broader market.

The core service is a centralized booking tool that provides access to a large inventory of vehicles across numerous countries. It is designed to simplify the rental process, which has traditionally been fragmented. The platform offers features tailored for business clients, such as consolidated billing, white-label integration for travel agencies, and an intelligent API for seamless connectivity. Value-added services include a 24/7 concierge, valet services at airports and train stations, and the option for deductible buybacks. The company also addresses corporate social responsibility needs by offering a specific selection of zero-emission vehicles.
