Renault and ADA launch the ‘Moov’in.Paris by
Renault’ application
G
roupe Renault and ADA, a subsidiary of the Rousselet Group,
have launched the Moov’In.Paris application, which provides
access to their free-floating car-sharing service for electric vehicles.
The Moov’in.Paris application is now available for download from
the Apple Store and Google Play. The new user can create their
account very simply and associate the requested documents
(pictures of their identification document, driving licence).
One hundred Renault ZOE and 20 Renault Twizy have been put into
service throughout the capital, as well as in Clichy (Hauts-de-Seine).
The number of vehicles put into service will quickly increase to follow
the customer demand, while guaranteeing optimal service quality.
100 Renault ZOE are now available for journeys lasting between 10
minutes and four hours.
At the end of the journey the customer parks the vehicle on the
road in an authorised location in Paris or Clichy. They validate the
electronic inventory of return to complete the rental. The invoicing
is then triggered, at a price of €0.39 per minute of rental, with a
minimum of 10 minutes. The customer does not have to worry
about paying for parking nor charging the vehicle. Renault supplies
the vehicles and carries out maintenance and repair. ADA offers its
expertise through its digital application dedicated to very short-term
rental. It will also carry out the removal, recharging, cleaning and
repositioning of electric vehicles.
The reservation process is simple: the customer locates an available
vehicle nearby, reserves it via the application and then has 15
minutes to access and connect to the vehicle via Bluetooth. The user
checks the reference inventory to verify the condition of the vehicle
on the application, modifies it if necessary and provides pictures to
indicate new damage or dirtiness and validates it. They are then free
to make their journey.
