Corporate Car Sharing: Reduce Your Company’s Costs
Corporate car sharing is a practice that is becoming increasingly common in France. This mobility solution is innovative for businesses, as their employees make use of self-service vehicle rental. The growth of car sharing is significant, driven in particular by its sustainability benefits and cost savings. In the following sections, we will present what corporate car sharing is, its advantages, and our solution for your fleet.
What Is Corporate Car Sharing?
Car sharing allows a company to pool a fleet of vehicles for use by a large number of people. Within a business, the vehicle fleet is made available to employees, who can access a vehicle by booking it through new technologies such as a dedicated application. It is a straightforward service to implement.
What Are the Advantages of Corporate Car Sharing?
Car sharing enables companies to reduce costs. With car sharing, you can cut expenses related to the maintenance of your vehicle fleet. A car-sharing and telematics unit is installed in each vehicle, providing the company with a wealth of data. This data includes driver information, accelerometer readings to monitor eco-driving, real-time vehicle geolocation, fuel consumption, mechanical alerts, and more.
Within a business, car sharing also provides a comprehensive overview of fleet utilization, making it possible to identify surplus vehicles in your fleet. Since employees must book a vehicle for their trips, they gain greater autonomy as no intermediary is required to make a reservation. As a result, fleet management is simplified through car sharing and the connected unit.
Car sharing also delivers a positive environmental impact. It allows you to select vehicle models with lower fuel consumption. Through the telematics unit, you can gather data on driver behavior and provide training to encourage responsible driving.
