DiscoverCars.com Number 464 in the Inc. 5000 Europe
Another recognition of our record-setting growth.
DiscoverCars.com is again honored to be on a prestigious list of the fastest-growing companies in Europe, this one compiled by Inc. We were the 464th fastest-growing company overall in Europe for the three-year period that ended at the end of 2019.
The list was compiled using revenue data submitted by each company, with each company being required to have at least 100,000 euros in revenue the first year and 1 million euros in revenue the last year of the period.
DiscoverCars.com grew 1,225% between 2017 and 2019.
DiscoverCars.com began as Discover Car Hire in 2013. Originally serving hot vacation spots in Europe, it has come to serve locations throughout the world — over 10,000 of them — which has powered its financial growth.
Though the entry in the Inc. 5000 lists 11-50 employees, DiscoverCars.com now has more than 85 employees. Each one has invested their time and energy improving the car rental booking experience that millions of renters have had.
We have continued to invest in its future growth through the coronavirus pandemic. We have both invested in improving the booking experience for customers and added new partners in locations throughout the world to give its customers the options that best fit them.
DiscoverCars.com was named the Leading Car Rental Booking Website in the 2020 World Travel Awards and was a Silver Winner in the Online Travel Services Marketing-Website category of the Magellan Awards by Travel Weekly. It is also among the top 50 car rental websites by web traffic according to SimilarWeb. DiscoverCars.com was also named in both the 2020 and 2021 editions of the FT 1000: Europe's Fastest Growing Companies.
