Verra Mobility Corporation announced a partnership with Locauto Group, the leading Italian car‑rental provider, to deploy its electronic toll‑payment platform across Italy’s 7,000‑kilometer toll‑road network. The collaboration will allow drivers to opt in at more than 100 Locauto locations—including airports, railway stations and major city centers—eliminating toll‑booth lines and enabling automatic toll payments for rental vehicles.
The deal positions Verra Mobility to capture a sizable share of Italy’s electronic toll‑payment market, where the company estimates it could process over 300 million toll transactions annually. By integrating its toll‑management system with Locauto’s fleet, Verra will generate new recurring revenue streams and strengthen its presence in 15 European countries, where it already operates in the commercial services segment.
Verra’s senior vice president and general manager for Europe, Tsjerk‑Friso Roelfzema, said the partnership “saves drivers time and frustration and solves pain points for rental car companies.” Locauto CEO Raffaella Tavazza added that the collaboration “further elevates the customer experience” by providing a seamless, cash‑less toll‑payment experience for its customers.
The partnership aligns with Verra’s broader strategy to expand beyond North America. In recent earnings, the company reported a 8.52% year‑over‑year revenue growth and a 66% profit margin in its commercial services segment, driven by strong demand from rental‑car operators and fleet customers. The new Italian deal is expected to reinforce this growth trajectory by tapping into the country’s high volume of international visitors—over 70 million per year—who frequently use rental cars and toll roads.
While the announcement does not disclose an operational start date, the partnership is a key milestone that could accelerate Verra’s recurring revenue generation and deepen its penetration in a large European toll‑road market. The deal also signals confidence in the company’s technology platform and its ability to scale across diverse geographies.
The collaboration underscores Verra’s commitment to delivering innovative, cash‑less mobility solutions that enhance customer convenience and operational efficiency for rental‑car operators, positioning the company for continued expansion in the European smart‑mobility space.
