What Driiveme does

Driiveme, headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France and operating under the legal entity SAS G.L.A.L., is a digital automotive logistics platform founded in 2012 by brothers Alexandre and Geoffroy Lambert. The company's core proposition is a two-sided marketplace that matches car rental companies and fleet operators needing to reposition vehicles with individual consumers willing to drive those vehicles one-way for a €1 rental fee. Driiveme earns a commission from the rental company for facilitating each transport, while the consumer receives a symbolic-priced one-way rental with built-in insurance covering vehicle damage up to €100,000 and third-party liability up to €100 million through a partnership with Altima (Allianz). The platform reports over one million vehicle transports since founding, approximately two million members across Europe, more than 4,000 enterprise customers, and 150,000+ individual clients, with 98% satisfaction on the enterprise side and 97% on first-time individual bookings.

Direct peers

• uShip: Online marketplace that connects shippers with transporters for vehicles, freight, and bulky items. Highly comparable to Driiveme's Transport de véhicule convoyage service: a digital marketplace pricing per-route vehicle movement.
• Turo: Largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace globally, operating a structurally similar two-sided marketplace for personal vehicle rentals and one-way trips; the US analogue to Driiveme's repositioning-plus-rental model.
• Getaround: Global peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace that absorbed Drivy (Driiveme's closest historical direct competitor). Competes head-on with Driiveme's vehicle-rental marketplace model, with overlapping consumer and fleet repositioning use cases across Europe.
• Virtuo: French/European one-way car rental operator with digital-first booking and doorstep delivery. Targets the same urban consumer seeking flexible, one-way car rentals as Driiveme's Location à 1 euro product.

Broad incumbents

• Europcar: One of Europe's largest car rental operators and a Driiveme customer for repositioning. Could insource competing capabilities, and operates its own Ubeeqo short-term rental product that overlaps with Driiveme's enterprise mobility use cases.
• Zipcar: Avis Budget Group-owned car-sharing service operating hourly/short-term vehicle access in cities and on university campuses. Represents the shared-fleet competitive counterpoint to Driiveme's marketplace model.
• BlaBlaCar: French-founded intercity carpooling leader that has expanded into car-sharing (BlaBlaCar Daily). Operates a different model (driver-passenger vs. driver-empty-vehicle) but shares the French consumer-mobility audience and same regulatory geography.
• Sixt: Major European car rental incumbent that is both a Driiveme customer (fleet repositioning) and an emerging competitor via Sixt Share and one-way rental offerings across the same geographies.

Emerging players

• Montway Auto Transport: US-based vehicle transport service specializing in door-to-door auto shipping for dealerships, manufacturers, and individuals. Operates a different geography but provides direct competition to Driiveme's convoyage use case for non-European expansion scenarios.

Regional players

• Ubeeqo: European corporate car-sharing platform owned by Europcar (one of Driiveme's largest customers). Competes for corporate fleet and one-way trip use cases in cities across France, UK, Spain, Germany and Belgium.
