Our take
CarTrawler provides car rental and mobility solutions to travel industry players, enabling them to supplement their revenue and improve the experiences of their customers. It runs what is essentially a B2B marketplace for car rentals, through which airlines and travel agents can offer their clients end-to-end travel options.
Like many of its travel industry peers, the company has felt the pinch in recent years due to the after-effects of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. Despite this, CarTrawler has remained positive that it can capture further success in the new-look economy. It has continued to pursue new partnerships and expand its North American presence, already boasting a network of key players including United Airlines, easyJet, Uber, Emirates and Hotels.com.
