The new self-service car rental service, which is debuting at the IKEA Paris-Villiers store, will gradually be rolled out to all IKEA stores in France by September 2018. In total, nearly 300 private and commercial vehicles (Trafic, Kangoo, Kangoo Z.E., ZOE) will be made available to the general public at the stores.

Initially, the vehicles for hire will be both electric and ICE depending on the charging infrastructure available on-site. This will make way for an all-electric fleet by 2020.

Renault Mobility is already present throughout France with 180 self-service vehicle rental fleets available 24/7 both within the Renault network and at other locations in city centres, public parking lots and other sites.

Using the Renault Mobility mobile application, customers can get ‘easy and fast rental service’ starting at EUR7 per hour (VAT included) depending on the vehicle rented (insurance and 100 km/62 miles included). The immediate availability of the vehicles and the choice of pickup location – from the parking lot of an IKEA store or Renault Mobility fleet – will ‘offer customers great service flexibility’.

Fast, easy to use and at an attractive price, this new rental service allows users to adopt a simple mode of transport with, eventually, a fleet comprising 100 per cent electric vehicles. This demonstrates our commitment to a more sustainable way of life,” says Vicente Cubells, Director of Customer Relations at IKEA France.

“This partnership with IKEA France underlines the relevance of Renault MOBILITY’s car-sharing offer and is part of our Renault Mobility development strategy in France. This mobility solution, accessible to all, is based on a 100 per cent digital customer journey and the Renault network to guarantee our customers a high quality service,” said Philippe Buros, Renault France Sales Director.
