ECTOR specializes in valet parking services at airports and train stations, providing a streamlined solution for travelers seeking convenience and efficiency in their transportation experience. Customers can drop off their vehicles at designated locations close to terminals, where trained valets assist with unloading luggage and conducting a thorough inventory of the car.

Vehicles are then securely stored nearby, ensuring safety. ECTOR serves over 200,000 users across major cities in Europe, enhancing accessibility for both domestic and international travelers. Revenue generation for ECTOR primarily stems from its direct-to-consumer valet services, structured around a pay-per-use model. Customers engage with the service by making reservations online or via mobile applications, where they select drop-off and pick-up times.

The pricing is competitive, typically lower than traditional parking facilities, offering added value without extra fees for delays due to flight or train schedules. This straightforward model reinforces customer loyalty by alleviating parking logistics' hassle. In January 2020, ECTOR Parking raised EUR 5. 64 mn in Series B funding, aimed at expanding its service offerings and geographic reach.

The company plans to enhance its technology and introduce new products designed for improved customer experience. Expansion into additional European markets is also on the agenda, leveraging recent funding to support these initiatives.
