Concept
Being a trustworthy, supportive and committed intermediary between car rental agencies and our customers requires a set of essential and daily actions. At CarDelMar, these actions are allocated a “must-have & must-do” status. Offering the best services implies taking the best approach. This is the reason why we put special focus on making the right decisions when it comes to the selection of the most reliable car rental partners, the best sought destinations and the lowest pricing possible. To keep up to our commitment, it takes strong Quality Control. To keep up to our words, it takes outstanding Customer Service. We do not only keep this in mind but we also truly live it.
„Without proper customer support service, there is no offering no matter how good the product may be. “
Herman Roosloot - Customer Service Netherlands
Quality Control
We select our car rental partners based upon a rigorous check-list fully aligned with our drive for excellent service delivery. We pay particular attention to aspects such as quality-service, commitment and reliability any potential partner is willing to demonstrate and keep up with.
Along with our Customer Support department, we regularly monitor the quality service provided by all of our current and potential partners putting particular focus on the following characteristics:
• Overall fleet condition
• Security equipment delivery
• Emergency hotline
• No hidden fees
• Presentation of contracts written in different languages (English language being a must)
• Extras (baby seat, additional driver option…etc.)
• Friendly and courteous personnel
• Location - airport station & shuttle services
Our Purchase and Quality Control team is always on the go to assess and get the best for our customers. Should one car rental station fail to provide the quality we all commit ourselves to, CarDelMar terminates the partnership immediately. We want to work only with partners who know what “best” truly means.
„Sure, it is possible to get 45 new partners each month if we want but if this implies a loss in our quality control, then I am sorry but I say „no“
Julia Logemann - Director of Purchasing & Operations
Customer Service
As a legitimate and genuine objective, we, like most other companies, aim to generate high sales volume and increase our revenue. However we consider that making a sale implies more that a just “a quickly wrapped action deal”. At Cardelmar, all three sale phases are essential and are bound with one another: “Before-Sale”, “Sale” and “After-Sale” phases are all on focus as we thrive to really assist our customers throughout the entire process. For us, poor “Before-Sale” leads to poor “Sale”. Missing “After-Sale” leads to some obvious lost future “Sale”.
Because we genuinely care for our customers and their satisfaction, we have set up a very pro-active Customer Service in charge of assisting all of our customers from the time they make an enquiry to the tim they drop-off the vehicle.
Offering great prices as a broker is a great thing. But we want to do more than just focus on prices for our customers. We are and seek to be a committed intermediary whom our customers can truly rely on.
„It is through our customers that we learn more about our services and how we can improve these ones. Their questions, their feedback, their complaints make us grow. And this is so valuable for us.“
Ursula Hesse - Customer Service Manager
Code Of Practice
Protecting our customers' private information is one of our top priorities. Consequently, we have conceived and developed very thorough educational and training programs all of our employees have to attend as we aim to educate them on the importance and relevance of client privacy. At CarDelMar, all of our employees are bound by a code of ethics: strict confidential treatment of all of our client information is a MUST.
Our IT department is dedicated in providing the most secure IT system enabling all of customers to process all of their online booking in complete security and assurance that all is done to safeguard their information. CarDelMar's website is secured with a 128 bit code by Verisign. Sensitive data, such as credit card and personal data, are coded and protected using the SSL system (Secure Socket Layer) before being transferred. Data cannot, therefore, be intercepted by a third party. It is even safer than giving details by telephone.
