Eldan

What Eldan does

Eldan (legal entity: אלדן תחבורה בע"מ / Eldan Transportation Ltd.) is a privately held Israeli mobility services company that has operated for over 55 years under the brand positioning "Israel's Car Company." It runs a fleet of approximately 30,000 vehicles across more than 20 branches nationwide, spanning Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Tiberias, Eilat, Ashkelon, and Beersheba. The company's core platform combines four service lines: private car leasing, operational/business leasing, car sales (first-hand and 0 km vehicles), and short- and long-term vehicle rental. Supporting modules include electric vehicle sales/leasing/rental with bundled charging and OTA updates, business rental for corporates, refrigerated vehicles, 24/7 roadside assistance, real estate services, and tourism services.

The business is monetized through a mix of one-time vehicle sales and recurring subscription-style streams — monthly private and operational leasing contracts (₪1,836-₪4,050/month depending on model), daily/weekly rentals (₪145-₪450/day), and subscription-style road and tourism services. Customer segments span individual consumers, corporate/B2B fleets, EV adopters, and international tourists. Eldan supports a B2B portal for enterprise fleet management, a national call center (3003*), WhatsApp sales, a self-service website with an online leasing calculator, AI-powered chat tools for support and transaction processing, vehicle location tracking for fleet management, and the Eldan Magazine content hub.

Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer digital channels (website, app-adjacent flows, social media on Facebook and Instagram, email/newsletter via ActiveTrail, and content marketing) with a traditional inside-sales and branch-based retail network, complemented by a mutual partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car for international referrals. Technology integrations include PlaCard (payments), Au10tix (identity verification), Bump-Yard (multi-channel communications), Emaze (landing pages), Tavona Marketing (surveys), and Google/Facebook advertising and analytics stacks.
