At that time, Price Seeker had become one of the reference rate shoppers for the hotel sector, from whose benefits renowned chains benefited. However, “more and more people were offering similar products,” continues Franz, “so we saw the need to diversify, and we were able to identify, at the right time, an opportunity in the world of rent a cars, characterized by the markedly changing nature of their pricing strategies, and in which around 80% of sales occur online.”
