Car-sharing and self-service car hire

Over the last ten years or so, these operators have become major players in urban mobility in France, intelligently pooling fleets of vehicles for users who only need them occasionally. They offer flexibility of use, budget savings, and a move towards energy transition and respect for the environment. It’s in everyone’s interest to use them in conjunction with public transport, to make our city more welcoming and more enjoyable.
