QDrive Technologies launches AI-powered marketplace for the premium vehicle rental industry at WTM London 2026

Haris Ahmad QDP COO and Co-Founder

QDrive Performance, the Heathrow-based premium vehicle hire, chauffeur and leasing operator, today unveiled QDrive Technologies, a new AI-powered marketplace platform built for the premium and luxury vehicle rental sector, at World Travel Market (WTM) London 2026, ExCeL London, 3–5 November.

The platform is designed around a cooperative marketplace model: independent premium operators retain full ownership of their fleet and their brand, while gaining access to shared technology, pooled demand and the operational infrastructure typically reserved for the industry's largest players. Customers, corporate travel buyers, travel agents and hotel concierge teams book directly into a growing network of vetted premium operators across the UK and Europe, with artificial intelligence embedded throughout the search, recommendation and booking journey.

The move addresses a long-standing gap in the premium rental market, where independent operators have historically faced a choice between remaining small and locally confined, or surrendering their identity to a franchise arrangement with a large incumbent brand in order to access meaningful distribution.

“Independent operators in this industry have never really had a third option,” said Hamza Ahmad, CEO and Co-Founder of QDrive Performance. “QDrive Technologies lets them keep their fleet and their identity, while giving them access to a network, a technology stack and a level of demand that would otherwise be completely out of reach. That is the gap we built this platform to close.”

QDrive Technologies is demonstrating the platform live on its stand throughout WTM London, with its supplier portal already open for operator registration ahead of a full public launch.
