Business VTC Reunion Island: corporate accounts, billing, tracking

Managing your team''s business travel in Reunion Island shouldn''t turn into an accounting headache. Scattered expense reports, lost receipts, VAT reconstructed line by line, passenger transport quickly becomes an opaque cost centre.

This guide is written for CFOs, HR leads, office managers and event agencies looking to structure VTC transport for their teams across the island, from Saint-Denis to Saint-Pierre, from Roland Garros airport to seminars in the wild south.

Why a corporate VTC account in Reunion Island?

In Reunion Island, business transport raises three specific issues. First, geography: between Saint-Denis (headquarters of most large companies), Sainte-Marie (Roland Garros airport), Saint-Pierre (industrial south) and Saint-Gilles (western hotel belt), one employee can cover 80 km in a day. Second, scattered demand: marketing books a VTC for a client, HR organises a seminar shuttle, the executive board orders a vehicle for a prefect, each paying personally. Third, VAT recovery: without compliant company-named invoicing, the VAT on passenger transport is lost.

A corporate account solves the three. One invoice per month, VAT-compliant, with breakdown by user and cost centre. No more expense reports, no more out-of-pocket advances.

Corporate vs personal account: side-by-side

Centralised invoicing and reclaimable VAT

The Zoot corporate account issues one invoice at month-end, compliant with French accounting rules: SIRET number, VAT mentions, itemised lines, optional cost-centre code. Each ride includes date, time, pickup, drop-off, passenger name and assigned cost centre.

VAT on passenger transport (10 % in mainland France, specific rates overseas) is itemised and reclaimable for VAT-registered businesses. Concretely, on EUR 1,000 of rides per month, your accountant recovers the VAT in two clicks instead of reconstructing 40 receipts.

CSV exports match the standard formats of Pennylane, Sage, Cegid and Qonto.

Payment terms (card, direct debit, net 30)

Three options for corporate accounts:

• Stored credit card: automatic charge at month-end on the company card. Best for small structures wanting simple mechanics.
• SEPA direct debit: one-time mandate, monthly debit on the corporate bank account. Suits SMEs and large accounts.
• Bank transfer net 30: invoice issued on the 1st, due at D+30. Reserved for accounts validated after solvency check (Kbis + revenue).

The choice is made at account creation and can evolve with volume.

Team dashboard and CSV reporting

The account administrator gets a web dashboard showing in real time:

• rides in progress (with vehicle GPS position)
• upcoming scheduled rides
• monthly consumption (amount, ride count, per user)
• budget thresholds (alerts at breach)

Each invited collaborator gets their own credentials. Roles distinguish user (books for themselves), manager (books for their team) and admin (manages the entire account). You stay in control of who can do what.

CSV export on demand for any period. Filters by user, project, time window.

Use cases: shuttle, seminar, VIP, events

Corporate VTC Reunion FAQ

How long does it take to open a corporate account?

Plan 24 to 48 working hours after receipt of your Kbis extract and chosen payment method. Net-30 transfer accounts require additional validation (solvency check), plan 5 working days.

Can I reclaim VAT on VTC rides?

Yes, if your company is VAT-registered and the travel is business-related. The corporate account issues compliant invoices with itemised VAT and your company SIRET.

How many users per corporate account?

No contractual limit. Zoot corporate accounts handle a 5-person SME as well as a 500-person group account with sub-accounts by department and individual budget caps.

Is the service available 24/7?

Yes, the app operates 24/7 across the whole 974. Dispatch support is continuously reachable via in-app chat. For corporate accounts with dispatch priority, a dedicated line handles critical requests.

What happens if a collaborator exceeds their monthly budget?

You set alerts (80 %, 100 %, 120 %) notifying the account admin. You can automatically block new bookings above the cap, or route them to manual manager approval.

Can I use the corporate account for guest clients (not employees)?

Yes. The Zoot corporate account lets you book a ride for a third party (client, prospect, candidate, supplier). The invoice still goes to the ordering company with the passenger name listed.
