By working together and building bridges around the world, we can create experiences that meet travelers' evolving needs. This ambition is key to our work at Amadeus. At the center of the travel ecosystem, we work to connect stakeholders within our sector to the benefit of all.

The recent partnership between Karhoo and FREENOW is a great example of this goal coming to fruition.

Integrated with our business travel management solution, Cytric, Karhoo technology works to take the pain out of business travel, with a consistent mobility experience whenever travelers need it, from wherever they are.

The partnership between Karhoo and FREENOW is strengthening the offering further. Under the terms of the deal, Karhoo has enhanced its platform through the integration of FREENOW’s taxi and PHV supply, adding over 200,000 vehicles into the various customer-facing apps and websites to ensure a flawless passenger experience.

Amadeus, Karhoo and you

What does this mean for Amadeus and Cytric users? In short, FREENOW vehicles are available for reservation directly in Cytric Mobile for customers (via Karhoo) in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK.

All in one place

The collaboration between Karhoo and FREENOW will help corporate travel managers using Cytric Mobile to take more control of mobility programs. They find more comprehensive content in one place. Moreover, the simple user interface of Cytric Mobile makes it easy to navigate across the different mobility options.

With environmental sustainability front-of-mind, business travelers are also able to compare categories of vehicles – for example, electric or hybrids – along with the price and estimated waiting times to book whichever ride best suits their needs.

Business travelers can also easily pay through Cytric Mobile, so they're not left out of pocket with cash payments. A digitalized, automated expense process means there is no need to send any paperwork to accounting teams, and travelers will be notified by Cytric Mobile of the new receipts waiting to be settled.

By enabling this solution with Cytric Mobile, it is easier for corporations to reduce ground transport spending as they can control indirect costs and data entry mistakes made by employees and finance departments when uploading expense information are reduced.

Travel is all about collaboration and the partnership between Karhoo, FREENOW and Cytric brings this to life for the benefit of our customers.

Karhoo was initiallyintegrated into Cytric Mobile in 2022, allowing users to hail pre-booked or on-demand rides in more than 1,000 cities around the world. With hundreds of fleets of taxis and private transfer companies to choose from, users are offered a wide choice of vehicles, with new cities and destinations constantly being added to meet demand.

All these mobility options are just a few clicks away for the traveler in Cytric Mobile – without the need to download another app.
