DiscoverCars.com Wins Car Rental Broker of the Year in 2025 International Explorer Awards

We’re thrilled to share that DiscoverCars.com has been named Car Rental Broker of the Year in the International Explorer Awards!

The International Explorer Awards recognize companies around the world that are shaping the future of travel and tourism. They highlight the best in innovation, service, and sustainability — from hotels and tour operators to mobility platforms like ours.

Award details

This award acknowledges our continued work to make renting a car simple, transparent, and accessible, no matter where your travels take you.

Operating in over 164 countries and 50,000 locations, we’re proud to connect millions of travelers with reliable car rental options every year — and it’s an honor to see that recognized internationally again.

This recognition comes after another milestone year for DiscoverCars.com. In 2024, we were named World's Best Car Rental Booking App in the World Travel Tech Awards, highlighting our focus on innovation and user experience.

Our Trustpilot rating of 4.6/5 from more than 230k reviews also reflects the confidence travelers place in our service, which the International Explorer Awards has recognized.

Selection criteria of the International Explorer Awards

The International Explorer Awards accept nominations from across the travel and tourism industry. Each company is evaluated on its:

  • Achievements and measurable performance
  • Customer satisfaction and quality of service
  • Innovation and technological progress
  • Broader impact on the travel ecosystem
Submissions are reviewed by a panel of industry professionals who assess how each nominee stands out in their category.

What makes this award special

Unlike many regional or niche industry awards, the International Explorer Awards look at the global picture, recognizing the best in travel from every corner of the world. Companies from all sectors of the tourism industry from all over the world apply to take part in the awards.

That means we were up against strong competitors from multiple countries and sectors, which makes this win especially meaningful for our team.

It also serves as a reminder of how much the industry values transparency, reliability, and innovation. These are the same principles that have guided us since day one.

What the award means for us

Awards like this one are a team win. It’s a reflection of each of the 200+ team members who work hard every day to make the car rental experience better for our customers.. From our engineers and customer service agents to our commercial and accounting teams, we couldn't achieve successes like these without them.

It also reinforces our mission to make car rental easier for everyone. Whether you’re picking up a car in Riga, Rome, or Rio, we want you to feel confident that you’re getting a great deal with clear, straightforward terms.

We’re grateful to the International Explorer Awards for this recognition and to our travelers, partners, and team for making it possible. Here’s to more adventures on the road ahead.
