Today, companies are looking for concrete ways to integrate sustainability into their travel policies, and TMCs play a key role in this transformation. To support them, Goelett now integrates a smart carpooling feature directly into the booking process. The goal: offer business travelers the option to share a rental vehicle when a similar itinerary has already been booked by a colleague with the same departure point, on the same date, and at a similar time.
A carpooling solution integrated into business travel booking
As soon as a user adds a car rental to their trip, Goelett automatically checks if another traveler from the same company has booked a similar vehicle on the same date and for the same route. If so, and if that colleague has agreed to share their information, a smart alert appears to suggest carpooling.
Whether the vehicle is picked up at an agency or a delivery point, the objective remains the same: reduce CO₂ emissions by sharing a ride. This eco-friendly option is seamlessly integrated into the booking flow.
Why include carpooling in business travel?
Corporate carpooling is not just about saving money – although cost sharing is definitely a benefit. More importantly, it’s a concrete action to:
- Reduce the carbon footprint of business travel
- Decrease traffic by limiting the number of vehicles on the road
- Contribute to the company’s CSR and ESG goals
It’s also a simple way to raise awareness among employees about sustainable mobility challenges.
Simple actions for lasting impact
Adopting a more responsible approach to business travel doesn’t require a major shift. Sometimes, a simple act like sharing a rental car instead of booking two can make a real difference. And when these reflexes turn into shared habits, the entire company travel policy evolves toward greater responsibility.
Flexible setup with privacy at its core
As always at Goelett, the user experience is at the heart of the design:
- For administrators: the carpooling feature can be activated with a single click in the admin panel.
- For travelers: all it takes is a one-time consent in their profile to share rental info. This setting can be changed at any time, ensuring flexibility and confidentiality.
The system then works discreetly to facilitate connections and reduce the environmental impact of business travel.
With this new feature, Goelett strengthens its commitment to more sustainable business mobility and gives TMCs and their clients a practical tool to take action. Each booking becomes an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions – while making the travel experience easier.
