Who we are...

Verra Mobility is a global leader in smart mobility. Verra Mobility Commercial Services creates smart roadways, serving the world's largest commercial fleets and rental car companies to manage tolling transactions and violations. Arizona-headquartered Verra Mobility Corp. currently operates in 15 countries and in 22 languages.

We believe there is significant opportunity to further expand into Europe. We have established our European headquarters in Amsterdam, from which we have launched our tolling and violation management solution business in Europe in 2019. We further have offices in London, Madrid, and Budapest, with a workforce of close to 100 people.

Our European tolling business has established relationships with tolling authorities throughout Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Ireland, through which we offer interoperable electronic tolling directly to consumers, through white-label partnerships and to RAC customers, depending on location.

Additionally, our European violations business specializes in helping major road operators and cities across Europe with the identification, notification, and collection of unpaid traffic, parking and mobility related fees. This business provides value to over 600 toll and ticket-issuing authorities in more than 17 European countries, through a pan-European service operated in more than 20 languages and more than 10 currencies.
