How Dealerships Can Streamline Courtesy Transportation with Connexion Mobility & Uber for Business
Managing a courtesy transportation program is a challenge for many dealerships. Traditional loaner fleets and shuttle services are expensive to maintain, require constant oversight, and often lead to inefficiencies that frustrate both customers and staff.
By integrating Connexion Mobility’s Uber for Business solution, dealerships can seamlessly automate ridehail services, ensuring a more cost-effective, efficient, and customer-friendly transportation experience.
Challenges of Traditional Courtesy Transportation
Many dealerships rely on loaner cars or shuttles for service customers, but these options come with several challenges:
- High Overhead Costs
🔹 Loaner cars require upfront investment, insurance, maintenance, and fuel costs.
🔹 Shuttles require dedicated drivers, fuel, and scheduling management.
🔹 Depreciation and wear-and-tear reduce the resale value of loaner vehicles.
- Inefficient Fleet Utilization
🔹 Loaner vehicles may sit unused for long periods, tying up resources.
🔹 Shuttles may run with only a few passengers, leading to wasted fuel and labor.
🔹 Poor scheduling leads to underutilized or overbooked transportation options.
- Frustrating Customer Experience
🔹 Customers often face long wait times for shuttle availability.
🔹 Loaners may be unavailable due to overbooking, causing frustration.
🔹 Fixed shuttle routes and schedules limit flexibility for customers.
