Our take
Outdoorsy is an online portal providing RVs and camper vans for hire on a peer-to-peer basis. The platform is attempting to do to RVs what Airbnb did to hotels: revolutionize the market using the sharing economy. Outdoorsy estimates that around 97% of recreational vehicles remain idle during the year, so it provides owners with a way to make some additional income from them when they are not in use.
In addition to its RV rental and outdoor travel marketplace, Outdoorsy also operates in the insurtech space. Its "Roamly" business is designed to provide digital insurance products for RV owners and travellers, tackling the problem with insurer contracts excluding commercial use, which could deter listings on the Outdoorsy platform. Travellers then benefit from renting vehicles with insurance included, simplifying their rental experience.
As holidayers turn away from more rigid hotel options and towards outdoor alternatives, Outdoorsy has delivered over 200,000 trips to consumers. Serving a range of demographics and remaining well-reviewed, the company is in a good position to grow into the future, especially into Europe, as it capitalises on a stunning benchmark of $3 billion in sales.
