The company once again experienced record growth.
DiscoverCars.com is incredibly honored to once again be listed on the prestigious list of the fastest-growing companies in Europe compiled by the Financial Times. This time, we were the 249th company overall, the 13th in Hospitality & Travel, and again the 1st in the Car Rental industry
In 2021 we were 231st in Europe, 4th in Travel and Leisure, and 1st in the Car Rental industry. Our position peaked in 2020 at 64th overall.
This year's list was compiled using revenue data submitted by each company. It lists the ones that saw the highest compound revenue growth rate between 2020 and 2023.
DiscoverCars.com had an absolute growth rate of 673.6% over that time, or a 07.8% compounded annual growth rate. Even more stunning is that we went from 57 employees to 165 employees in that time period, though we now have well over 200 hundred employees.

The years for which the data for this list was based coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic which drastically affected the travel industry as a whole. We, too, faced unprecedented challenges during that period, but through it all did everything we could to support our customers during a time when their travel plans were often thrown into chaos. We also did all we good to help our business partners during that period and developed strong relations that helped propel us to land on this prestigious list again.
We as a company are extremely grateful to all of our customers, partners, and employees who stuck with us during the trouble times without which we would have experienced the growth that landed us on the FT 1000 again.
DiscoverCars.com aims to keep making the rental process better for travelers and helping them experience the joy that comes with traveling by car.
