What BoB does

BoB is a privately held Turkish mobility services company headquartered in the Şişli district of Istanbul, operating an integrated portfolio of automotive concierge services rather than a single product. Its three core service lines are BoB Transfer (chauffeured airport and intercity transfers including a VIP tier), BoB Parking (smart 24/7 parking facilities with digital vehicle records), and BoB Valet (professional valet parking for malls, offices, hotels, and mixed-use facilities). The company extends this core with an autonomous parking product built on the HGS Park Smart System, which operates barrier-free and staff-less with a stated 98% collection rate guarantee, and ancillary offerings in car wash and insurance.

The underlying platform is mobile-first and centered on the BoB mobile application (iOS and Android), the proprietary BoBile application for digital vehicle transaction recording, and a central booking system accessible via website and call center (444 1 711). Distribution is direct-to-consumer for transfer services (self-serve booking, airport meet-and-greet at Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen Airport) and managed-services for parking and valet (contracts with commercial facilities). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a fixed-price guarantee and inclusive toll/parking terms for transfer services; parking is monetized via facility contracts and a recurring subscription tier.

Commercially, BoB targets two primary segments: individual travelers and commercial facilities, with corporate clients as a secondary segment. Operations are entirely concentrated in Istanbul, Turkey, with no disclosed geographic expansion. Revenue is undisclosed, no funding rounds are on record, and the company is independently owned with no public listing. Founded in 2016 per firmographic records (the company history timeline references 2024), BoB employs 501–1,000 people, consistent with a labor-intensive service model spanning transfer fleet operations, parking facility management, and valet staffing.
