Company Overview
Auto Moto Lesvos AE has been a prominent player in the car rental industry since 1992, serving as a franchisee of Avance and formerly Europcar. With a continuously expanding fleet of over 150 new rental cars across all categories, they are known for delivering high-quality services, full insurance options, and exceptional customer care.
In addition to leveraging the Avance sales channel, Auto Moto Lesvos AE uses their independent website, powered by VEVS, to differentiate their channels and boost sales and revenue. The need for a robust car rental software, a user-friendly car rental website builder, and an efficient car rental reservation system brought them to VEVS.

- Facilitating multi-channel bookings to differentiate their offerings.
- Adhering to GDPR compliance while enhancing customer engagement with features like blogs and banners.
