As the future becomes increasingly uncertain, the leasing model, which requires a long-term commitment, is being called into question. Trends in society are moving towards sustainable development, ecology and the reduction of unnecessary costs. What’s more, urban space and access are becoming limited. For these reasons, many people consider owning one or even two vehicles per family to be excessive. The number of reasons for using a vehicle, pleasure, image and prestige are now outstripped by utility.
Short-term rental or long-term subscription means that everyone can feel free to use the vehicle for as long as they need to, and to part with it at any time without having to worry about maintenance, parking, depreciation, etc.
Acceptance conditions are much lower than for leasing.
“Hello Vroum! I’ve ordered a new vehicle, sold mine and the delivery time is getting longer. I’d like to hire a car without spending too much…”
“I don’t drive much any more because of my advanced age, my vehicle costs too much to have it inspected and I no longer wish to invest in a new vehicle.”
“I don’t have any money to spare and my bank is refusing a leasing loan. However, I need a vehicle for work trips.”
