Company background

History

VoyagerMoinsCher.com was created in 2000 by Pierre Brisset and Arnaud Barey. In March 2007, VoyagerMoinsCher.com launched BilletMoinsCher.com, a meta-search engine for comparing flights from different online travel agencies[1] (OTA).

In July 2010, VoyagerMoinsCher.com launched a hotel meta-search engine which displays the hotel results from diverse OTAs on one single page with filters for refining the search.[2]

Towards the end of 2007, the group Priceminister took over VoyagerMoinsCher.com. In June 2010, the group was bought by leading Japanese ecommerce group Rakuten.[3]

Charter of price comparators

VoyagerMoinsCher.com is co-editor and joint founding member of the “Charte des Sites Internet Comparateurs” (Charter of Online Price Comparators). This charter was signed under the auspices of FEVAD, Fédération du e-commerce et de la vente (Federation of e-business and distance selling) and Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Secretary of State for Forward Planning, Assessment of Public Policies and Development of the Digital Economy. In July 2012, the two sites renewed their label passing the Charter of Comparators audit for the 4th consecutive year.
