How to automate booking a test drive with AI

“Can I test drive the Model C?” "Where's my nearest test drive centre?" "What day can I test drive the Suzuki?"

Taking a test drive can often break or cement a deal and the sooner someone books in for one, the sooner you’ll know. Automate bookings and customers can book in whenever it’s most convenient for them to do so, for a date, place and time that suits them. There’s no back and forth over the phone or forecourt, just an instant, straightforward arrangement.

Why do companies automate test drives?

Companies automate the booking of test drives because it’s a necessary experience for buyers, but the associated admin is time-consuming for human agents to carry out. Automating test drive bookings frees up valuable time for your teams to focus on refining and optimising the overall quality of your service and continually enhancing the experience for your customers, so they feel valued and cared for.

How does automating test drives benefit my customers?

When you automate the process of booking in for a test drive, your response time is instant, which saves your customers time. Your service is accessible 24 hours a day, on any channel and in any language, so customers can book in from wherever they are and at a time most convenient to them. This can significantly help improve customer satisfaction and increase loyalty, but at the same time, reduce your customer support costs, so you can spend more on making improvements to your offers, products and services overall.
