This is particularly interesting if you use your car relatively little, whether it stays in the garage during the week or at the weekend, you can then rent it out to other individuals, which will give you extra income. And if you are going to spend a weekend or a week on vacation and you need a vehicle on site, you will pay less than going through a professional… We are at the heart of the collaborative economy…
Many financial advantages
I simulated a weekend in Nantes on the getaround.fr site which connects individuals. It’s already very easy: you enter the dates, places, and you choose the car that suits you. For example, I found a Renault Twingo at 78 euros for 3 days… It’s really cheap. Looking on the site of a professional car rental company, I was at 114 euros…And you have to remember that it’s an attractive price for the person who rents, but also a small, not insignificant income for the owner of the car.
In practice, what happens if you want to rent out your car?
You register on a website that makes the connection, get around, ouicar or smiile for example, you register your vehicle by indicating its characteristics and you set your price, your availability. Some platforms offer an in-person key delivery system and others the installation of a box so you don’t have to bother with that. And then note that the insurance is managed by the website, your bonus-malus is not at stake when you rent…
In some cases, you can also do this directly with your loved ones.
Of course, this is the case for Anne-Louise who lives in Rennes, she initially wanted to go through a website, then by talking to a neighbor, it happened naturally..
