Car transportation: a growing market

The car transport and vehicle transportation sector offers self-employed drivers attractive opportunities with vehicle transfers to build up a successful business. Whether transporting new cars, used cars, rental cars or company vehicles - the demand for professional vehicle transporters is constantly increasing. Digitalization in particular has further developed the industry and opened up new opportunities to gain an efficient and flexible foothold in this business segment.

For many self-employed drivers however, getting started can be challenging. How do I find jobs? What insurance is necessary? How do I organize my bookkeeping? This is where the ONLOGIST app comes into play, answering all these questions with a single digital solution and making the start of your career as a vehicle transfer driver much easier.

The terms car transport and vehicle transport are used synonymously and usually refer to the transportation of cars on large eight-wheeler trains.

However, there are two common transportation methods:

The transportation of individual vehicles on third-party axles in particular is becoming increasingly important due to the mobility transition. Many customers, tenants or subscribers want fast and flexible vehicle delivery. Transporting several cars with large trucks is often less ideal, as for reasons of efficiency it is necessary to wait until the truck is fully loaded - which delays prompt delivery. A fast and popular alternative is vehicle or car transportation by trailer, which makes it possible to get vehicles to their destination efficiently and quickly, without long waiting times.

Car dealerships, car rental companies, leasing companies, subscription providers, garage chains and private individuals are increasingly using this option to transport vehicles from A to B in comfort. This is creating a growing market that offers you, as a self-employed driver, attractive opportunities to benefit from this trend.

Both transport variants offer numerous application options. The ONLOGIST app gives self-employed drivers who own a trailer access to many orders for the transportation of individual vehicles on third-party axles. In addition, there are thousands of orders for vehicle transfers on your own axles, allowing you to operate flexibly and in a variety of ways.

Starting out as a self-employed vehicle transporter can be complicated by administrative hurdles - from order acquisition to invoicing. This is exactly where the ONLOGIST app comes in and simplifies the entire process.

1. order acquisition made easy

Instead of laboriously searching for your own customers, ONLOGIST gives you access to a large number of clients, including well-known car dealerships, mobility providers and fleet operators. The platform acts as a marketplace where you can quickly and easily find and accept suitable vehicle transfer orders.

2. full flexibility and independence

With the ONLOGIST app, you as a self-employed driver have full control over your working hours and order selection. You decide for yourself when, where and how many jobs you want to accept. This flexibility is ideal because you can make vehicle transportation your main source of income or carry out vehicle transfers as a side job.

3. integrated insurance

A major issue in vehicle transportation is protection against damage. ONLOGIST offers an integrated insurance solution that protects you as a car mover during the transfer. This means you don't have to worry about taking out separate insurance policies, but can concentrate fully on the transportation.

4. digital logging and invoicing

ONLOGIST eliminates the hassle of paperwork. All the necessary steps - from logging the vehicle handover to invoicing - are handled digitally via the app. After completing the order, you can upload receipts for additional expenses such as refueling or car washing directly and create the invoice with a click. This simple accounting function saves time and significantly reduces administrative work.
