In these corona times, the consumer knows how to find the shared car en masse. Research from MyWheels among the new users, it appears that the limited public transport (30%) and the fact that the user does not feel comfortable traveling in any other way (32%) are the main motives for choosing a shared car from MyWheels.
The number of trips on the car-sharing platform MyWheels has increased by 60% since the corona measures. In particular, the share of new customers taking a ride is considerably higher than usual, namely 41% of the total. Research by MyWheels shows that people choose to use a shared car because of the reduced capacity of public transport and because they do not feel comfortable traveling in a different way than the shared car.
The first acquaintance with a shared car seems to please the users, 80% indicate that they want to continue using the shared car.
“More and more people are on the road, the number of journeys is increasing every week. 'On Mother's Day there was a very busy time, almost all cars were rented out'. MyWheels urgently places extra cars in places where there is a lot of demand ”, says Karina Tiekstra, general manager of MyWheels.
You can choose from three models at MyWheels: a city car, electric car or family car. Each model has an hourly and kilometer rate.
