Yesboony represents a significant player in the European recreational vehicle rental market, established following the merger of two existing platforms, Yescapa and Goboony, in July 2023. The company operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace, connecting motorhome and campervan owners with individuals seeking to rent them for travel. This business model facilitates the sharing economy within the nomadic tourism sector, offering a broad selection of vehicles across Europe.
The formation of Yesboony brought together the leadership of its preceding entities, including founders Benoît Panel, Adrien Pinson, Sergio Branco, Mark De Vos, and Foppe Mijnlieff. Yescapa was originally founded in 2012, indicating a long-standing presence in the market prior to the merger. The combined entity, Yesboony Holding B.V., operates primarily out of the Netherlands and France. The business generates revenue through a commission-based model, taking a percentage from each rental transaction facilitated through its platform. This approach is common for online marketplaces, allowing for scalability by leveraging existing assets (the vehicles) owned by its users.
The platform's core service is to provide a streamlined and secure rental experience for both vehicle owners and renters. It addresses the growing interest in outdoor and road-trip-based travel by making a wide range of recreational vehicles accessible to a broader audience. For vehicle owners, it offers a way to generate income from an underutilized asset. For renters, it provides a flexible and varied alternative to traditional holiday accommodations. The company positions itself as a facilitator of accessible and enjoyable RV travel, aiming to cultivate a community of travel enthusiasts.
