FREENOW’s Post

Let me just take a second to explain why this quote matters. Bolt currently has nine million ride-hailing passengers in the UK. And now Bolt's Policy Director Haya Verwoord Douidri has told us that the mobility giant is eyeing a slice of the island's micromobility market too. If 60% of Bolt's nine million ride-hailing users were nudged to Bolt e-scooters in the UK, that would be a pretty substantial mode shift. “Users requesting a Bolt car would get an in-app notification if their journey is less than three kilometres which would tell them where scooters are in their area," explains Haya. "We saw that 60% of users took our advice for shorter journeys in those cities where we had both ride-hailing and scooters. This is something we’re uniquely positioned to do because of our multimodal offering."

What drives the growth of shared mobility services? The growth of the #sharedmobility market is driven by increasing #urbanization, cost-effective transportation needs, and advancements in technology. Environmental concerns and government support further bolster this trend. As consumer preferences shift toward access-based models, the integration with #publictransit and corporate #carsharing programs continues to enhance the attractiveness of shared mobility services.

10 years ago, the fleet of Avis and Payless in Slovakia reached the size of 750 cars. Today our fleet has exceeded 1,500 cars. Our strategic interest is to increase the fleet to 3,000 cars by 2030, increase penetration through other brands, which we will represent and robustly digitize. Already today the group also works in the regions and our presence will constantly increase. Renting cars that people want and that are safe and at affordable prices without administrative obstacles is the most important aspect of our mission for us. To fulfill the mission, I need to supplement our stellar team with the best of the best. We are creating the future of mobility not only in Slovakia. #avis #paylesscarrental #avisbudgetgroup #avisrentacar #rac #carrental #autopozicovna #unitedgroup #vladimirorth #mobilita #unitedmobility #slovensko #lowemissioncars #co2 #autonews #autorentalnews

We are thrilled to announce that FREENOW in Ireland has partnered with Irish bike sharing provider MOBY to make its pedal e-bike fleet available on the FREENOW app in the Irish capital!  🤩🚀🚲 This integration will allow FREENOW users in Dublin to adopt a more flexible approach to daily transport and choose from different transport options when travelling for work or leisure, easily combining taxis and bikes with existing public transport. This mirrors the multi-modal progress made by FREENOW in other markets, such as the UK, France, Spain or Germany, where passengers are combining taxis with a variety of transport options to get about the city, all available via the FREENOW app. The new partnership with MOBY is part of FREENOW’s ongoing commitment to enhance urban transportation choices by offering a range of sustainable and efficient transport options to passengers. 🌳🌍 #SustainableTransport #UrbanMobility #FREENOW

LetzRide, the new transport service by FleetLab, officially launched in Luxembourg on June 18th. The innovative service offers 24/7 car sharing and solo rides across the country. Partnering with established transport companies like Sales-Lentz -, Demy Schandeler, and Josy Clement, LetzRide aims to provide a convenient and flexible travel solution. Customers can easily book their rides up to 24 hours in advance using the LetzRide app. Initially focusing on shared rides using vans from the partner companies, solo trips will be introduced later through a private taxi service. Despite the availability of free public transportation in Luxembourg, LetzRide targets underserved niche markets with specific time slots and connections. Notably, LetzRide does not require any subscription, offering transparent pricing to clients upon reservation. This customer-centric approach aligns with FleetLab's commitment to enhancing the transport experience in Luxembourg.
