Airline Customers

Airlines need to capitalize on the consumer’s choice of channel by generating significant revenues in a cost effective manner. CarTrawler’s proven technology, coupled with the highest standards in the industry, enables airlines to generate an exceptional source of ancillary revenue; naturally pairing flight itineraries with car rental. Car rental is a high margin ancillary revenue product with a low or zero running cost for an airline. Typically, between 2% and 5% of airline customers book car rental as part of their flight itinerary. CarTrawler also enables reduced costs and increased ROI, negotiating contracts with the car rental suppliers on behalf of airlines, managing and marketing the car rental content and handling all customer services issues.

In three years, CarTrawler has signed a total airline passenger audience of over 200 million annually, making it the largest provider of car rental booking solutions in the world for the airline industry.

Generating immediate ancillary revenue, the fully customizable CarTrawler technology offers real-time, direct connect availability, pricing and bookings to 95% of traffic, accessing leading and independent suppliers globally, in multiple languages and currencies. Seamless integration with airline itineraries is enabled through the CarTrawler multi-lingual XML feed.

CarTrawler uses its advanced technology to ensure the airline’s needs are met at the right price. Pricing is complex and airlines understand this. The art of pricing is to make the price easy to understand for the consumer whilst delivering the best profit opportunity. CarTrawler delivers this to its airline customers, and converts the premium nature of the airlines website as a distribution channel, into a premium revenue stream.
