Corporate car sharing launches for leisure use too
Arval is offering a corporate car sharing scheme also suited to employees' leisure time, promising a reduction in business mobility costs of up to twenty per cent.
There is classic car sharing and there is car sharing for company employees. Then there is the model being trialled by Arval, a corporate car sharing scheme valid for both work purposes and leisure time.
This is precisely the distinguishing feature of the car sharing offer put forward by the company, which promises a reduction in business mobility costs of up to twenty per cent — just consider corporate transport expenses such as taxis, rentals and mileage reimbursements for employees.
Arval car sharing, a benefit for employees
The solution also represents an element of corporate welfare, precisely because employees have the option of picking up an Arval car sharing vehicle for matters related to their private lives.
Workers can register via the dedicated app or on the website, in order to request a vehicle available directly at their workplace. The benefit is not only financial: as is standard with car sharing services, the employee will always have access to vehicles in excellent condition, paying only for the time the vehicle is used.

The management platform is customisable, and the flexibility in vehicle management is equally high, adapted to the needs as well as the rules set by the company using the service.
Arval aims to grow its managed vehicle fleet to ten thousand by 2020. The company is also considering creating a network of hubs dedicated to car sharing near business premises or in strategic locations — a useful option for out-of-town areas.
"Arval Car Sharing fits perfectly into Arval Italia's strategy of increasingly establishing itself as the go-to partner for the mobility of companies and beyond, through the definition of a 'full range' rental offer spanning minutes or days, as in this case, to months, thanks to Arval Mid Term Rental, right through to years, with our traditional product," said Grégoire Chové, Managing Director of Arval Italia. "With this new offer, we also want to give our corporate clients new opportunities to develop their own corporate welfare, and their employees the freedom to get around with a service that is easy, useful and convenient."
