Overall, the Car Hire industry has increased by 4% in visibility in the past year. But if we start to look at brands individually, there have been some mixed results and some major shifts to note.
Auto Europe has had a fantastic year of growth with a 107% YoY change moving from 8th to 3rd in the Visibility chart.
Auto Europe takes the 1st position on visibility YoY Winners, from a score of 8057 organic visibility to 16683 in a year, which is an excellent jump for Auto Europe.
With Auto Europe dominating again, hitting 1st on high visibility low authority table with a domain authority score of 50 and the organic visibility at 16,683, fantastic work, guys. Auto Europe brand searches for this year, reaching over 18,100 searches per month.
While on the other hand, the reviews don’t paint a good picture, with a score of 2 stars and over 8900 reviews. AutoNation Europe has only been given one out of five stars by every customer who has reviewed them over the last month. This is something to work on and learn how to improve the customer’s journey before it’s too late.
Avis has had a crazy year by dropping visibility by -14%, dropping from 3rd to 5th in the Visibility table for this year. Putting them in 2nd place for YoY Losers, now’s the time to change your approach before it’s too late.
39 out of 50 on the reviews table shows room for improvement to make that customer experience smoother. Avis has a review score of 1.4 with over 1600 reviews, something to improve on for the future.
After looking on Trustpilot, I couldn’t find any positive reviews for the last two months, all with 1-star ratings, leaving customers left with a feeling of dissatisfaction, especially if they have no response from the company with a query or complaint. Only having an 18% excellent review score means they have a lot of catching up to do.
The Car Hire industry report will identify which brands are utilising social media and branded marketing effectively. We consider a variety of social signals and brand searches.
Enterprise is one of the current digital reach leaders, coming in first with over 165,000 brand searches every month. So, if you’re struggling to understand how to use social platforms and branding to your advantage, look at their approach.
Enterprise on Trustpilot has a score of 1.9 stars and over 3000 reviews, with 21% of them being 5 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, having looked through the reviews, Enterprise doesn’t take the plunge like Arnold Clark Rental and understand how customers view the buying journey with comments made back on reviews.
Zest Car Rental is at the top for page speed, with desktop hitting 92 and mobile-only reaching 68.
Trustpilot reviews for Zest Car Rental are 4.9 stars and over 1700 reviews. It is an excellent process to understand the values and feelings of the customers by replying to every review posted and explaining how they can help or show the companies fantastic customer value and reviews.
Zest Car Rental goes above and beyond for the customers to make it easier and helpful when purchasing a car, with only having 8,774 total social media followers. With Instagram having over 1,300 followers, Facebook has over 6076 likes and Twitter reaching over 1,430 likes.
