What car rental companies get from Voyage.
Booked with the trip
Pickup times are set from the traveler's flight, so the car is ready when they land.
Moved when flights move
If the flight is delayed, the agent can change the pickup through the API instead of the traveler calling the counter.
Full price up front
Your fees and extras are shown before booking, so the price the traveler sees is the price they pay.
Extras sold
Additional drivers, child seats and the other extras you offer, added at booking or later.
Paid at booking
The agent pays when it books, so the traveler's spending limit holds.
Lower distribution cost
Voyage earns most of its revenue from the agents and sites that book, so suppliers pay less to connect than a GDS charges.
