Dublin based CarTrawler has announced that it has been selected as Wizz Air’s, fastest growing European ultra-low-cost airline, exclusive car rental provider. Following a highly competitive car rental tender process, Wizz Air has selected CarTrawler to provide a world-class car rental proposition to their 5 million+ monthly passengers. Wizz Air has a unique destination network spanning through continents and their mission is focused on offering more affordable travel opportunities to discover Europe and beyond. CarTrawler’s proposition complements this service, by providing the widest choice, best value, and pricing across 1,700 quality car rental companies in 50,000 global locations.
As the CAPA-Centre for Aviation Awards for Excellence 2023 winner of “CAPA Global Environmental Sustainability Airline/Airline Group of the Year”, Wizz Air’s requirement for leading sustainability options will be met with CarTrawler’s eco-car merchandising capabilities offering wide-ranging EV car rental supply, and the introduction of customer carbon offsets on car rental.
Commenting on the partnership, the CEO of CarTrawler, Peter O’Donovan, said: “We are delighted to be chosen to partner with Wizz Air to become the airline’s exclusive car rental partner. This is a huge win for our business, and it demonstrates the scale and momentum at which CarTrawler is operating, with yet again one of the leading airlines in the world choosing to partner with us. Our best-in-class proprietary technology will offer Wizz Air the ability to optimise and maximise ancillary revenue while offering customers personalised results, more choices, and better value, all supported by our amazing people. We look forward to providing Wizz Air with our world-class Connect Platform that helps our partners to maximise ancillary revenue opportunities. CarTrawler was chosen due to the strength of our proposition and our global travel technology expertise. Our purpose is driving successful partnerships, and as a B2B company, we create our partner’s car rental brand, not our own. Our people are the cornerstone of our business, and their passion and sheer determination will ensure we enjoy a successful partnership now and into the future with Wizz Air”.
Also commenting was the President at Wizz Air, Robert Carey who said: “We are excited to be partnering with an innovative, data-led car rental technology provider like CarTrawler to provide our passengers with the widest range of rental vehicles at the best possible price point. CarTrawler’s proposition is closely aligned with Wizz Air’s digital programme, with a strong focus on providing exceptional digital customer journeys and making travel as frictionless and simple as possible. We look forward to working with the CarTrawler team to provide our customers with a seamless digital booking service and to maintain and maximise our position as the world’s leading airline for ancillary revenue generation.”
