Preserving the value of Uber, taxi & fleet vehicles: Why paint & display protection is not a luxury, but a must

Vehicles in professional use, whether as Uber, taxi, or part of a fleet, are subject to intensive use. Day after day, various passengers get in and out, touch displays, reach for door handles, and place significant stress on the interior and body. The result: significant wear and tear, clearly visible marks on the paint and cockpit, and a rapidly declining resale value.

In this guide, you will learn why professional vehicle operators particularly benefit from paint and display protection solutions such as GrizzProtector and how a frequently underestimated return on investment can be achieved.

The harsh reality in everyday use

  • Passengers = Unpredictable load: Suitcases scrape the paintwork when loaded, small change is placed on the display, finger taps dominate the cockpit.
  • Short downtimes: In the hectic daily routine, there is hardly any time for complex cleaning or preparation.
  • Intensive use: A vehicle used by Uber or taxi drivers covers hundreds of kilometers every day. This often manifests itself in micro-scratches, signs of wear, and material fatigue.

What GrizzProtector offers: Protection that pays off

BodyShield paint protection films

  • Protection for door handle recesses, loading sill, sills and bonnet
  • Invisible, self-healing & can be removed without leaving any residue
  • Less paint damage = higher resale value

Screen protectors (clear or matte)

  • Reduce fingerprints and light reflections
  • Keep the interface hygienically clean
  • Extend the life of the display

Piano Skin interior films

  • Protection for piano lacquer elements in the interior
  • Increase visual value retention when returning the lease
  • High-quality impression for passengers

Study: Hygiene in the shared mobility sector

According to a study by Netquote and Uber insiders, the interiors of taxis and ride-sharing vehicles contain more than 219 times more bacteria than average household surfaces. Displays and door handles are particularly vulnerable to germs.

The combination of display protection (easy to clean) and interior films reduces the build-up of dirt, minimizes odor formation and facilitates quick disinfection during operation.

Conclusion: If you value value retention, you cannot do without

Especially for vehicles with high mileage and frequent contact, protection isn't just a cosmetic decision, but a financially sound investment. GrizzProtector offers a sophisticated system for all-round protection that pays for itself many times over when returning the vehicle from a lease or reselling it.
