The Lost Revenue from Missed Calls

85%

After-Hours Service Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Job Windows

Independent Car Rental Agencies (Independent) often miss urgent service calls from customers needing vehicle repairs, roadside assistance, or emergency key pickups—especially between 8 PM and 6 AM when technicians are on-site. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, these missed calls directly impact fleet availability and customer trust. For example, a customer stranded at a medical appointment due to a breakdown may never return if their call goes unanswered, leading to long-term revenue loss.

62%

Staff Overwhelmed by Phone Duties During High-Demand Service Windows

Field technicians and rental coordinators at Car Rental Agencies (Independent) are frequently pulled away from critical tasks like vehicle inspections, maintenance scheduling, and customer drop-offs to answer phones. This disrupts workflow and delays service call resolution. With 62% of calls going unanswered, agencies lose valuable opportunities to confirm appointments, process rental extensions, or address customer inquiries about insurance or mileage policies—especially during peak hours like lunch and post-shift.

67%

Emergency Rental Issues Delayed During Off-Peak Hours

Customers calling with urgent issues—such as a vehicle not starting, a damaged rental, or a medical appointment requiring immediate transport—often face long wait times or unanswered calls after 7 PM. Since 67% of customers hang up when they can’t reach a real person, these missed connections lead to negative reviews, insurance claims, and lost repeat business. For example, a patient needing a rental car for a hospital visit may abandon the rental entirely if they can’t get help quickly.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We used to lose 5–7 after-hours calls every week—especially on Friday nights and weekends—when our techs were working on fleet repairs. Now, our AI answers every call, books service appointments, and even reminds customers about upcoming maintenance checks. In just two months, we’ve booked 14 new service calls that would’ve been lost. It’s like having a 24/7 assistant who knows our rental policies and vehicle types inside out.

Owner & Fleet Operations Manager, Horizon Auto Rentals (Car Rental Agencies (Independent)), Car Rental Agencies (Independent)

I manage three rental locations and was drowning in phone calls during shift changes. I didn’t have time to confirm appointments or follow up on customer inquiries. After setting up Answrr, I now answer every call—even at 1:30 AM—without lifting a finger. The AI even remembers if a customer rents a minivan for family trips and suggests the right vehicle next time. It’s been a game-changer for our customer retention.

It’s not just efficient—it’s personal.
