EureCab

What EureCab does

EureCab is a French cooperative ride-hailing platform that connects passengers with independent VTC (Véhicule de Tourisme avec Chauffeur) and taxi drivers for price comparison and booking across more than 30 French cities and overseas territories. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, the platform differentiates itself from sector leaders through an ethical and ecological positioning: drivers work as independent entrepreneurs under their own names, set their own prices, and build direct customer relationships, while EureCab offsets 100% of CO2 emissions on every trip and offers electric vehicle options.

The core product is a mobile-first comparison-and-booking engine delivered through iOS and Android apps, a responsive web platform, and a dedicated corporate portal (entreprise.eurecab.com). Passengers can compare hundreds of drivers, lock in fixed all-inclusive prices at the time of booking with no supplements, and choose from Eco Sedan, Business Sedan, 7-seater Van, or Motorcycle categories across major French cities and airports (CDG, Orly, Beauvais, Lyon St-Exupéry, Nice Côte d'Azur, Toulouse Blagnac, Bordeaux Mérignac, Marseille Provence, Lille Lesquin, Strasbourg Entzheim). The platform carries a 4.8/5 Google rating, and roughly 80% of rides are airport transfers.

EureCab monetizes via a transaction-based commission on completed rides — as low as 15% for loyal drivers, which the company describes as approximately half the take rate of sector leaders — and offers a dedicated B2B service for corporate customers with invoicing and account management. Drivers are recruited via a self-serve signup portal, customer support runs on Zendesk, and growth is supported by a referral/sponsorship program. The company is led by CEO Louis Penin, has between 11 and 50 employees, and has raised approximately $1.82M in disclosed funding across three rounds in 2018–2019.

Core offering

EureCab operates a cooperative ride-hailing marketplace that connects passengers with independent taxi and VTC (private chauffeur) drivers across France, allowing users to compare prices and book rides via web and mobile apps. Drivers set their own prices and work independently, while the platform charges a commission (as low as 15% for loyal drivers) on completed rides. The service emphasizes fixed all-inclusive pricing, ecological commitments (100% CO2 offset on all trips), and a separate corporate booking channel for business customers.

Broad incumbents

• Uber: Global ride-hailing leader operating UberX, Uber Black, and Uber Comfort in France. Direct competitor on consumer and corporate ride-hailing; competes for the same French VTC and taxi driver pool that Eurecab aggregates.
• Bolt: European ride-hailing platform with significant Paris operations. Competes on price and driver supply in the French market and represents one of the better-funded European alternatives to Uber.
• FreeNow (myTaxi): European taxi and ride-hailing aggregator jointly owned by BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Operates across multiple European cities and competes with Eurecab's taxi aggregation model and corporate travel offering.

Direct peers

• Heetch: French-founded ride-hailing platform targeting VTC drivers and passengers with a similarly positioned younger, value-oriented brand. Most direct European competitor in France addressing the same driver and rider segments.
• G7 Taxi: Largest Parisian taxi operator with digital booking (app and phone). Competes with Eurecab on airport transfers and executive car services for both individual and corporate clients in France.
• Kapten (formerly Chauffeur Privé): French VTC platform acquired by Daimler and BMW (FreeNow). Competes directly in the Paris VTC market on airport runs and city rides, and now part of FreeNow's pan-European network.
• LeCab: Earlier-generation French VTC booking platform founded in 2011. Competes with Eurecab on the same Paris-focused VTC ride-hailing market.
• AlloCab: French taxi booking platform aggregating Paris suburban taxis for app-based ordering. Closely comparable cooperative-style booking model targeting airport transfers and Paris-area rides.

Emerging players

• Gett: Corporate-focused ground transportation platform operating across Europe with strong enterprise travel product overlap. Comparable on B2B ride-hailing and corporate account management functionality.

Regional players

• Carey International: US-based chauffeured ground transportation provider serving corporate and executive travel. Comparable business model and customer base (corporate chauffeured transport) but operating primarily in North America.
