CarTrawler powers Ryanair’s car rental offering, delivering unmatched value for millions of customers

CarTrawler announces a new car rental partnership with Ryanair.Ryanair operates one of the most extensive short-haul networks in the world, carrying 207 million passengers per year. Its relentless focus on low fares and high efficiency has made it the most commercially important airline in European aviation. Ryanair customers can enjoy exclusive rates, top-tier car rental options, market-leading customer service and a fully integrated booking experience through Ryanair’s website and on the myRyanair App.

Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson, commented: “We’re pleased to announce our new partnership with CarTrawler. CarTrawler delivers great value with an outstanding range of car rental options at competitive prices, fully integrated into the Ryanair booking journey. Ryanair passengers already enjoy the lowest fares in Europe and this new product will offer them the best value with our price match guarantee.”

Peter O’Donovan, Chief Executive at CarTrawler, stated: “Ryanair’s decision to partner with CarTrawler is a powerful endorsement of our industry-leading Connect Platform, which delivers unparalleled results for our airline partners. We’re delighted to be reuniting with Ryanair to build a long-term, mutually successful partnership and to provide their customers with world-class car rental offers and exceptional value.”

Powered by CarTrawler’s Connect Platform, the company’s proprietary cloud-based technology, the service makes it easier for travellers to secure the right car at the right price as part of their overall journey, an experience that keeps car hire aligned with the airline’s low-fare promise and supports its broader commercial strategy. 

Unlike many travel technology providers that divide their focus between consumer and business channels, CarTrawler operates solely as a B2B partner, focused on enabling its customers to succeed. Every innovation and investment in its platform is designed to strengthen partner brands and drive measurable commercial growth. 

Building on this foundation, CarTrawler is evolving the platform into a wider ecosystem, integrating Insurtech and new ancillary products designed to boost partner revenues and traveller loyalty. This multi-year agreement enhances Ryanair’s ancillary offering and reinforces both companies’ commitment to delivering outstanding value and choice for millions of Ryanair passengers every year.
