Car rental companies have a logistical problem: many customers rent a car in Milan and return it in Brussels or Paris. For the company, it is expensive to hire a car carrier truck to bring the car back.

“Instead of spending 200 euros on this transport, it was thought that a private individual needing to make the same journey could take the vehicle for one euro,” says Constantin Lambert, the company's director.

  • What's Included: Generally, the rental is for 24 or 48 hours and includes basic insurance.
  • Your cost: Only fuel and tolls. By 2026, some offers will even include a full tank of gas for less popular routes.

With operations that move a thousand vehicles a day, the platform has established itself as the main alternative for those seeking to travel cheaply "without giving up the comfort of a passenger car".
