Here's something you might've noticed: sometimes you open the app, find the perfect car nearby, and then... 25% battery. Or a fuel tank running low. Frustrating, right? We feel that too. And honestly, it's one of the biggest operational challenges in car-sharing. Cars need fuel and a charge to stay useful, and traditionally, that means having service teams driving around all day, keeping things topped up. But we had a better idea: what if you could earn credit just by charging or refueling a car before you drop it off?
If you return a car with less than 20% battery or fuel, you've probably seen the option to plug it in or refuel before ending your trip. Do that, and you'll earn €5,- credit automatically (sometimes more during special promotions). That credit goes straight into your account and gets applied to your next trips. Use it enough times and your next ride could be completely free. The best part? We cover the charging costs. You're not paying out of pocket to refuel, you're just spending a few extra minutes to make sure the next person (or you, next time) doesn't have to deal with a dead battery.
Every time someone plugs in a car, that's one less time you open the app and find a vehicle that's not ready to go. It keeps the fleet available, reduces delays, and makes the whole system work better for everyone. Plus, the credit adds up fast. Charge a car once a week, and you've basically earned a free trip by the end of the month. Do it more often during promotions like this one, and you could be driving for free multiple times!
We're going to keep making this easier and more rewarding. Better in-app guidance, more frequent credit boosts, and maybe even new ways to earn just by keeping cars in good shape. The fleet works best when we all pitch in a little. You spend a few minutes helping out, and we make sure it's worth your time. Simple as that!
