How it's calculated

The math behind the numbers

Leads = monthly budget ÷ cost per lead. Bookings = leads × your lead-to-booking conversion rate. That's the whole model — no hidden multipliers.

The $4–6 default comes from the Vroom.DO case: a car rental launch in Punta Cana and Bávaro that went from zero bookings to a steady flow of qualified leads, using search campaigns segmented by city and car type plus conversion tracking on WhatsApp.

Your own cost per lead depends on city, season, and auction competition — treat the default as a starting point, not a promise, and swap in real numbers once a campaign has run.

FAQ

Common questions

How much should I budget for Google Ads in car rental?
It depends on your city and season — we size the budget to your specific market during onboarding. As a starting point, $1,500–$2,500/month covers a single-city campaign in a mid-competition tourist market.
What counts as a 'qualified lead'?
A request that includes car type, dates, and pickup location — not a click, not a form abandoned halfway, not a WhatsApp message that says "hi" and goes nowhere.
Where does the $4–6 cost-per-lead benchmark come from?
From the Vroom.DO case study — a car rental launch in Punta Cana and Bávaro that went from zero to a steady flow of qualified leads at $4–6 each.
Is this calculator accurate for my market?
It's a planning estimate, not a quote. Actual cost per lead varies by city and auction competition — we validate real numbers in a test launch before you commit a full budget.
