Business Model used by easyCar:
The company strives to provide value to the consumer whilst maintaining quality. The company defines quality as meeting or exceeding consumer expectations. easyGroup started business with easyJet in 1995. EasyJet used a low cost strategy providing value to the consumers at the lowest cost possible.
