Car-sharing when rail is on strike

What alternative transport should you take during a strike?

We've all been there before. Your local transport provider is on strike and trains are cancelled. Even the ones that escaped the industrial action are overcrowded or running on reduced schedules.

So how do you get to where you need to be? The stress-free option is car-sharing. By taking a trip with Free2move, you can escape the crowds on the platform and travel from A to B in comfort. You can even pre-book a rental car in anticipation of a rail strike. Here's why car-sharing is the best alternative when public transport is on strike.

Perfect for city commutes and beyond

Rail strike? No problem

Alternatives for innercity travel

Urban transport networks are the heartbeat of any city. But when a rail strike brings everything to a halt, even the shortest trips can feel like grand voyages. Fortunately, with car-sharing, you can drive freely throughout the city without having to own a car. With the Free2move car-sharing app, simply find and reserve a car close to you, unlock it with your smartphone and leave it at your destination. You can start and end your trip anywhere within the Home Area of your city. Whether you need to get to work or simply do a bit of shopping, the rail strike does not have to stand in your way.

Alternatives for long-distance travel

It's not just inner city public transport that can be impacted by strikes. Industrial action can put a stop to long-distance trains and buses too. Fortunately, car-sharing is also a great alternative for longer trips. With Free2move, you roam freely outside of the Home Area for up to 30 days - making intercity connections and adventures into rural areas possible. What's more, when you pre-book your trip in advance, we'll even bring your car to your doorstep. This is how pre-booking works.
