Euromobil

What Euromobil does

Euromobil GmbH is the captive car rental specialist of the Volkswagen Group, operating under the umbrella of Volkswagen Financial Services AG and majority-owned (51%) by Europcar Mobility Group since September 2023, with the remaining 49% held by EURO-Leasing GmbH. Headquartered in Sittensen, Germany, with a second central administrative site in Isernhagen near Hannover, the company manages a combined fleet exceeding 35,000 vehicles across more than 2,000 rental stations in Germany, supplemented by franchise partner operations in the Netherlands and Italy. It rents exclusively vehicles from Volkswagen Group brands (Volkswagen, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Porsche, Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge) through two consumer-facing brands: VW FS | Rent-a-Car (direct and partner stations, ~470 locations, ~18,500 vehicles) and Euromobil | Rent-a-Car (franchise stations inside VW Group dealerships, ~1,700 locations, ~16,000 vehicles), employing approximately 400 staff across Germany.

The product portfolio spans short-term rental (1-29 days), long-term rental (1-12 months for business and 3 or 6 months for private customers), the Business Abo monthly vehicle subscription launched October 2023 from EUR 499/month, workshop and accident replacement vehicles routed through the dealer franchise network, partner rental programs, E-Bike rentals, and a 24/7 roadside assistance hotline. Distribution combines a self-service online booking portal (autovermietung.vwfs.de), a direct enterprise sales force with regional sales specialists for corporate long-term rental and Business Abo contracts, and a franchise/license partner system of approximately 2,000 VW Group auto dealers. Revenue is generated through per-transaction rental fees on the direct fleet and long-term/Business Abo monthly subscriptions, plus licensing and franchise economics from dealer-operated stations.

The underlying technology stack is conventional enterprise IT rather than proprietary platform IP: a Microsoft Azure cloud transformation, Power Automate and Power Apps for internal workflow automation, an optimized CRM system for franchise and corporate account management, and standard SaaS integrations for booking, payments (Logpay, PayByPhone), identity (Verimi, IDEM), and analytics (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager). Compliance posture covers GDPR, the EU Data Act, and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) as part of the VW Group framework. The company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities and operates without external funding as a privately held subsidiary under dual Europcar and VW Financial Services ownership.
