Our mobility is currently experiencing various disruptions that will profoundly change it: whether electric mobility, autonomous driving or completely new mobility concepts such as private car sharing, they all ensure that our locomotion changes as massively as when the automobile was invented.
But what about all those who not only want to get around, but for those, because the actual journey is the big goal? We are talking about those who prefer to listen to the rich sound of a flap exhaust system than to deal with the connectivity of their in-car entertainment.
The classic sports car rental
Long before car sharing and private peer-to-peer concepts, they were pioneers of the sharing economy in the area of sports cars and exotic vehicles: classic car rental has always offered opportunities for getting around not only for every occasion and budget, but also since the fastest and most luxurious cars for the enjoyment of time.
The Sports Car Rental Motion Drive For example, ready since the year 2009 is active in this market, originally started with only one vehicle and now offers at 7 locations throughout Germany exotic sports cars for rent for an hour, a weekend or just a whole month.
The long-standing favorites in the portfolio include the following two-seater cars today and in a similar form:
- Porsche Carrera 911
- Audi R8 V10plus
- Lamborghini Huracan LP-610
- 458 Ferrari Italia
- Nissan GT-R
Even if other customer requests are fulfilled (four-seater travel suits with enough power, wedding vehicles or even a Bugatti Veyron), you are relatively specialized here. The advantages of this concept for the tenant are obvious: You are not only promised a certain vehicle category, but can also choose the exact model, color and sometimes even equipment options.
Disadvantage? Sports car fans from rural areas usually look into the tube, as such an exclusive rental is simply not profitable here. All you have to do is travel to the next metropolitan region, yours Dream of own sports car to become true on time.
Private car sharing for luxury vehicles
This is exactly the problem DRIVAR portal that combines the idea of a private car sharing portal with exclusively exclusive vehicles and sports cars. In principle, everyone can advertise their own sports car here, have it provided with a suitable insurance for rental vehicles and then rent it out. Both sides can benefit from this at the same time: The rental customer not only receives a huge selection of fantastic vehicles, but above all is not limited to a few stations - so residents of less densely populated areas also have the chance to drive their dream car.
And the price level is often a good deal cheaper than is the case with classic sports car rental.
You will also find very rare vehicles here:
- Bugatti Veyron
- Lamborghini Aventador
- Porsche RS 911 GT3
…to name just a few! The overall portfolio is therefore significantly larger than a classic car rental service could even approximate.
Owners of expensive sports cars - and recently also classic cars - can cover the sometimes horrendous fixed costs of their treasures sensibly, may get to know other enthusiasts and have little processing effort.
And where does the concept reach its limits? Clearly in the acceptance by the market! Of course - although in other countries such as the United States is already very successful - the German customer in particular is very skeptical and is examining new concepts such as private car sharing with a good distance. Sooner or later the time will tell if such a futuristic concept can stay with us.
However, both concepts already have one thing in common: Even if environmental activists might have wished, the sports car rental industry is currently booming again, which is reflected in the constant and increasing number of inquiries every year.
And especially DRIVAR shows with a number of electric vehicles in its portfolio that the journey out of pure fun in the joy can also be done in harmony with climate-friendly alternatives.
