Austin approves! Free2move Mobility Hub expansion


 

  

 

Austin joins Denver, Portland and Washington D.C., offering residents vehicle access options with the Free2move Mobility Hub

 

Austin, December 8th 2021 - Free2move, driven to develop flexible mobility solutions that meet the evolving market demand, is excited to add Austin to their list of Mobility Hubs. Austinites can already see the Free2move fleet of 100 Jeep® Renegade vehicles parked on the city streets. And as of today, Austin residents are able to book a Jeep® Renegade through the Free2move App, for a rental by the minute, by the day, and by the month.


Free2move has prioritized Austin as a Mobility Hub thanks to the City’s commitment to bringing additional mobility services to its community. The Free2move fleet of Jeep® Renegades are perfect for local residents to use as part of their daily urban transportation system, and for visitors of Austin to use throughout the duration of their stay.  Free2move can be part of a park-and-ride system, and is equally as convenient for weekend getaways to San Antonio, Houston and Dallas. With all the concerts and events being held in Austin, the need for transportation is endless!


The Free2move Austin Mobility Hub will focus on:

  • Carsharing and Rent - With services ranging from minutes to up to seven days; users can access vehicles parked in the Free2move service area; customers can leave the service area and pause their trip, as long as the trip ends within the designated service area; parking, gas and insurance are included.
  • Car On Demand - For month-to-month subscription, without long-term commitment; all-inclusive service with maintenance, insurance and 24/7 assistance all in a single price; cars will be delivered to the customer’s doorstep.


The Free2move Austin vehicle fleet will ramp up to 150 cars over the next few weeks.

Free2move is known for its simplicity of their service, and their ability to meet the needs of their clientele. 72% of Free2move’s customers are under 40 years of age and 52% of Free2move customers use the service several times per month. With more than 50,000 university students in the Austin area, the Free2move customer base in this market is impressively large.


In addition to the B2C services, Free2move offers special offers for businesses including coupon codes to encourage employees to use the new mobility solution.
