OmaxTelecom enables car rental companies to offer branded travel eSIM as a checkout add-on. At 15% attach rate on 1,000 rentals/month, eSIM generates €696/month in pure-margin ancillary revenue.
Why car rental customers need mobile data
Your customers are about to drive in an unfamiliar country. Mobile data is not a luxury - it is a navigation and safety requirement.
EV charging stations
Electric vehicle renters need real-time charger availability - apps like PlugShare and ChargePoint require data connectivity.
Roadside assistance
In case of breakdown or accident, data enables location sharing, photo documentation, and real-time communication with support.
Real-time traffic
Live traffic data saves time and fuel. Without it, drivers rely on outdated offline maps and miss road closures.
What changes when you offer eSIM
Today: without eSIM add-on
- Customer rents car, arrives at destination with no data
- Tries to use offline maps - gets lost, frustration builds
- Buys a local SIM at the airport - 30 minutes wasted
- Or pays €15/day roaming - blames the rental company
- Review mentions "poor navigation experience"
With Omax eSIM add-on
- Customer adds eSIM during booking - QR code in confirmation email
- Lands, activates in 2 minutes, starts Google Maps immediately
- Real-time navigation from airport to hotel - seamless
- Costs €7.99 total instead of €15/day roaming
- Review mentions "great add-on, felt prepared from the start"
How to add eSIM to your rental flow
1
Checkout add-on
Add "Stay Connected" eSIM option to your booking page alongside insurance, GPS, and child seat add-ons.
2
Automatic delivery
QR code is included in the booking confirmation email. Zero manual work for your staff.
3
Customer activates
Scan QR code on arrival. Data active in under 2 minutes. No app download, no counter queue.
The revenue opportunity
eSIM is a pure-margin add-on - no physical inventory, no staff training, no counter-side setup.
Rental eSIM (3GB/15-day EU) wholesale cost €3.35
Your add-on retail price €7.99
Your profit per rental €4.64
Conservative: 1,000 rentals × 15% attach × €4.64 €696/month
Realistic: 1,000 rentals × 25% attach × €4.64 €1,160/month
Annual range €8,352 – €13,920
Insurance achieves 30–40% attach rates, GPS add-ons 20–25%. At a conservative 15%, eSIM already generates significant ancillary revenue. With upsell training and checkout integration, 25% is realistic - and the margin is pure profit.
The EV opportunity
As car rental fleets electrify, customers need real-time data to find charging stations, check availability, and plan routes around charger locations. eSIM becomes even more essential for EV rentals - and your brand is the one that solves the problem.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Car rental companies can add branded eSIM as a checkout add-on through Omax's white-label platform. When a customer books a rental car, they are offered a data eSIM for their destination country. After purchase, they receive a QR code by email that activates mobile data for GPS navigation, real-time traffic, and connected driving - no local SIM or roaming required.
International car rental customers need mobile data for GPS navigation (Google Maps, Waze), real-time traffic updates, finding fuel stations and charging points, roadside assistance communication, and staying connected while driving in an unfamiliar country. Without data, drivers rely on offline maps or expensive roaming - both of which create a worse rental experience.
Ancillary revenue depends on volume and pricing. A typical rental eSIM with 3GB/15-day data costs €3.35 at wholesale and retails for €7.99. A mid-size rental company processing 1,000 rentals per month with a 15% eSIM attach rate could generate €696 in additional monthly profit with zero operational overhead.
