Co-founder Lean & Marketing Travel

Thursday, January 22, 2015

RentAutobus.com offers private chauffeured transport solutions comparable to the accommodation services provided by platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb. Based on the current technology, we have created a platform to ensure efficiency and reliability as you plan your itinerary. Our global platform enables our clients to conveniently arrange for private transportation and book for road trips. At the moment, the rentals of minibus, motorcoach, car with driver and transfers to and from the airport are taking place in a highly fragmented market which in Europe alone represents a market of € 12 billion. We are greatly concerned about customer’s needs and thus we provide clear, accurate, timely and comprehensive information on matters relating to routes, trips, companies and the services offered. It’s our ambition to play a dominant role in the market.

Our mission is to connect all transfer and transport companies around the world on one platform to conveniently work with both travel agents and consumers.

About the company

Rentautobus operates as a B2C and B2B (travel agents) marketplace and generates a significant number of daily visitors who request quotes and book trips and tours with our associatetransport partners. Management is done by Job Smulders (founder) and the customer service department is run by Monica Schatz. Revenue from reservations mainly originates from Spain and the Netherlands; however countries such as Portugal, Italy, Belgium and even India contribute in our income.

Unlike companies such as Uber and Lyft which focus on on-demand transportation, we focus on pre-booked and planned trips. The technology basis is sound and the challenge now is to come to a sustainable business and earnings model, grow in numbers of visitors and increase the conversion of visitors into reservations.
