Details

We are looking for potential disruptions in the car rental space. Car rentals has not evolved in the last decades and is perceived by business users as becoming inconvenient.

At Nokia, we are committed to use resources in the most efficient way and make things easier for our travellers. Traditional car rental leads to:

- Unused capacity

- Obligation for the travelers to anticipate their precise requirements.

- Lack of flexibility in case of change.

- Hidden costs representing an important part of the TCO (Airport/rail station Location Service Charge, GPS, Winterization, Fuel Surcharge, Delivery & Collection…)

- Difficult liability arbitration in case of collision/damage

Also, we are looking for solutions that allows Nokia’s business travels, through self-service and user friendly interfaces, like mobile apps, find the most relevant services like booking (including modification and cancelation when required).

For short-term car rental services Nokia prefers global solutions, but for other innovative mobility solutions we understand that each country has its own idiosyncrasies making a one size fits all solution extremely rare. Your proposals can be on a country or regional level if global solutions are still not possible.

Nokia's top destination countries for short-term mobility needs are following:

- US

- France

- Italy

- Canada

- Germany

- UK

- Spain

- Brazil

- Finland

- South Africa

Nokia travellers may be located in those countries or come from any other country of origin.

With your innovations help us keep Nokia a great place to work for our employees travelling on business.
