Volkswagen launches Quicar car-sharing scheme in Hanover

By / 12 years ago / News / No Comments

Under the scheme, 200 specially branded Golf BlueMotion models will be available for short-term rental from 30 minutes, initially from 50 stations distributed throughout the city area.

In addition, a further 70 vehicles are to be available for longer-term rental under the “Quicar Plus” programme. This will offer registered customers the chance to drive additional Volkswagen models such as the up!, the new Beetle, Passat Variant, Sharan, Golf Cabriolet, Transporter and Caravelle. A total of 70 models will be available through the scheme from a minimum rental period of 10 hours.

VW says that the new Quicar Plus option is especially suited to longer usage times and for longer distances, such as mini-breaks or business trips.

Unlike Quicar, the vehicles must be collected from one of three Volkswagen dealerships in Hanover or from the new Quicar shop. The new up! can be rented between 8.00am and 6.00pm at a charge of €30, the Beetle for €40 and the Golf Cabriolet or Passat Variant for €50.

Both schemes feature high vehicle availability, a flexible, low-cost tariff system and ease of use, says Volkswagen.

‘Volkswagen and car sharing go together outstandingly well. Quicar will make individual urban mobility possible for many people ranging from students to large families and trade customers. Quicar also demonstrates just how functional, efficient and inexpensive mobility made by Volkswagen can be,’ said Christian Klingler, board member for sales and marketing. He added: ‘With Quicar, we intend to become a key factor in urban mobility in Hanover.’
