ATOM Mobility is introducing a new way for users to start their rental journey: the Web-booker widget 🗓️

With this tool, users can book a car (or other vehicle) directly from merchant's website without first downloading the rider app. It creates a smoother entry point for new users while keeping the app central for payments, ID verification, and ride management.

How it works

✅ A dedicated booking link for every merchant
✅ Customers choose area, vehicle, and rental period → confirm booking in seconds
✅ Widget syncs bookings into system automatically
✅ After booking, a QR code + App Store / Google Play links are shown so users can continue in the app
✅ In the mobile app, users finalize payment and ID/driver’s license verification before starting the trip

🎨 The widget matches app’s primary color for a seamless, branded look.
📊 Every booking now shows its Source – App, Web-booker, Dashboard, or API.

Why it matters

Many successful digital rental and mobility platforms combine web and app booking flows to maximize conversion.

Take Turo for example:

• Customers browsing online can instantly reserve a car on turo.com.
• But to unlock the car, upload their driver’s license, and manage the trip, they switch to the dedicated mobile app.
• This dual flow lowers friction for new users while keeping security and payments centralized in the app.

New ATOM Web-booker works the same way - creating an easy on-ramp from website, while letting the app handle verification and payments.

This feature also aligns with the broader industry evolution we covered in Traditional Car Rental vs Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing vs On-demand Car Sharing artticle. As booking models diversify, offering multiple access points - web + app + api – is becoming a standard expectation from customers.

Market context

The global car-sharing market (including peer-to-peer sharing) is projected to reach USD 28.7 billion by 2030, growing from USD 11.5 billion in 2025 at 20% annual growth rate, with digital-first players outpacing traditional operators. One of the biggest success drivers? Reducing onboarding friction and providing automated processes.

• Majority of new customers discover rental brands online before downloading an app.
• Peer-to-peer platforms like Turo and Getaround already leverage web-based flows to capture demand at the discovery stage.
• Traditional operators are also moving to hybrid web+app models to compete with on-demand mobility startups.

The message is clear: giving customers multiple, seamless entry points directly impacts conversion and utilization.

Enabled by default

The Web-booker is enabled by default for all ATOM Mobility digital rental merchants for free. Just place the booking button on your website, and your customers are ready to go.
