2020 update : TravelCar Changes Its Name and Becomes Free2Move, Initiating a New Phase to Accelerate Its Development
--------
TravelCar is a global mobility platform for the travel and automotive industries with two innovative products:
>>>> T-Park: Global parking booking solution
Available in 50 countries on 5 continents with 30 different languages and 25 currencies, travelers easily find the right spot at a great rate whether parking at an airport, train station, cruise port, or city center. Through a seamless booking experience, customers compare rates, reviews, locations and amenities in full transparency. They drop-off and pick-up their cars using our automated gating and proprietary self-service kiosk technology, enabling our partners’ lots to be operated independently at unmanned locations (e.g., hotels).
We serve the needs of:
1/ Airlines, OTAs and SBTs by adding parking as a new ancillary revenue
2/ Auto OEMs by featuring our global parking platform in their connected vehicles
3/ Parking operators, airports and hotels by listing their parking on our system to reach new customers and increase revenue
>>>> T-Rent: Unique car sharing platform
Thousands of car owners leave their cars idle in long-term lots every day. With T-Rent, instead of paying to park, travelers benefit from a guaranteed free parking spot and earn money when they share their car with other trusted users.
Beyond a simple online sharing marketplace, we deliver a turnkey customer experience, manage the vehicles from A to Z during their absence and provide auto insurance that protects owners and renters. Renters, with this smarter car rental solution, save 50% compared to traditional car rental agencies.
-------------------------------------
And we're growing fast! Founded in 2012, TravelCar has offices in beautiful France and sunny California. We’ve raised more than $22M in funds and we are aggressively continuing to expand our global footprint.
