Carsharing for the summer. Mobility solutions for your holidays

We are now in the middle of summer, and August is here, the holiday month for many. For this reason, it is important to start deciding which places we are going to visit with family or friends, and how we are going to get there.

And if we don't want to travel many kilometres in our own car, or we simply travel by plane, train or boat, we will need easy and quick resources to get around once we reach our destination.

Cheap car rentals for your holidays. Should I rent a car? Or should I use carsharing?

It is clear that both options exist for mobility. We can either rent in the traditional way or download an App on our mobile phone. In any case, given the great expansion of carsharing throughout Spain, today this is a very interesting option for 3 simple reasons:

• They are faster to hire and return
• You can park anywhere without an hourly ticket
• They are cheaper

So, if you are considering carsharing, perfect, because you already have everything ready! Where are you travelling this holiday? To the city, the beach or the mountains? Today we tell you where there is a carsharing service for you.

Carsharing or subscription cars in the city

The natural environment for carsharing is the city, and that is a fact. Although this type of 360 mobility in urban centres has its pros and cons.

On the one hand, large carsharing fleets will mean you almost always have a car nearby. And if you want to rent it for several days or weeks, then don't worry. It's pure convenience.

On the other hand, the big downside is that if you don't book it several days in advance, and you book it by the hour, it may not be where you parked it when you return and you'll have to find another one. In any case, there are already few carsharing services that don't offer extended rental options.

So, if you are travelling to any of these cities this holiday, don't lose sight of these apps with which you can easily hire mobility services from your mobile phone, by the hour, day or week.

• Carsharing in Barcelona

  A wonderful Mediterranean city with history and beach, although we admit that its carsharing culture is not overwhelming for now. Your options are 2: Ubeeqo and mec. However, be careful with this second option as it seems to not have much car availability (at least this summer).

• Carsharing in Valencia

  A holiday destination that is less urban and more beachy. In Valencia there is already a 100% electric, and 100% Valencian, carsharing service. It's called CarGreen and it works really well.

• Carsharing in Madrid

  The Spanish capital has the widest range of brands offering carsharing. These are GoTo, Wible, Zity, Free2Move and ShareNow. So it's the perfect place to come without a car and get around more than ever by paying per use.

• Carsharing in Valladolid

  If you have family or friends in Valladolid, and you plan to go and see them, then you're in luck because there is also a carsharing service for you at the La Flecha Motor dealership. Available on the Qcar app for all mobile devices.

Rural and mountain carsharing

That's right! There is a carsharing service outside the city. Although there is only one brand that is currently betting on this concept. This is the case of VIVe by Hyundai.

In other words, if you are planning to enjoy a holiday outside the city, here we tell you where you can find all these mobility alternatives (which are also 100% electric).

• Rural carsharing in the province of Madrid: you can find them in the towns of La Hiruela and Rascafría.
• Carsharing in towns in Mallorca: they are found in the towns of Banyalbúfar, Algaida, Porreres, Muro, Estellencs and Santa Margalida.
• Rural carsharing in Toledo: now available in the town of Guadamur.
• Rural carsharing in Badajoz: there is a VIVe already circulating in Talavera la Real.
• Carsharing in Cádiz: in this Andalusian province you can find a carsharing service in the small town of Grazalema.
• Carsharing in Huelva: right in the neighbouring province, Huelva has a VIVe in the municipality of San Bartolomé de la Torre.
• Rural carsharing in Gipuzkoa: in the small town of Usúrbil.
• Carsharing in Almería: Gádor and its neighbours already have a carsharing service working wonderfully.
• Rural carsharing in Albacete: San Pedro and Chinchilla de Monte-Áragón are for now the two towns that enjoy a 100% electric car open to everyone in this province.
• Carsharing in Ourense: in Galicia, in the municipality of San Xoán de Río there is already a carsharing service.
• Rural carsharing in the province of Lleida: find them in Vilaller and Aitona.
• Carsharing in Jaén: indeed, in the famous town of Guarromán.
• Carsharing in Teruel: Teruel is the first Aragonese province with carsharing. It is in Mora de Rubielos.
• Carsharing in Seville: finally, Espartinas, a town with its own shared mobility service.

In fact, one of the most interesting things about VIVe's rural carsharing is that any town can request it.

Would you be interested in having a 100% electric carsharing service in your town? Request it here.

So, if you are going to leave the car at home this holiday and want to get around easily, flexibly and cheaply, download any of the apps we have mentioned throughout this article now.

And remember! Don't do it once you need a car. These apps usually take several hours to verify you as a user, after reviewing your driving licence and the documentation they will ask for. But don't worry, because if you have already done it, then it will be a case of arriving and starting to enjoy your well-deserved holiday.
