These European tech startups offer millennials substitute to owning a car in 2019

Millennials don’t care about owning a car! So the concept of car sharing, car rentals or even carpooling is getting more popular. After all, there are various advantages of carpooling or carsharing including less congestion, a faster ride to work and back home, less stress and fewer expenses. Why should one own transport for 24 hours, when you use it for only a couple of hours in a day.

To meet the demands of this migrating trend, many startups in Europe are getting into the model of providing flexible transport and they’re now taking car sharing to another level. Let’s take a look at the most successful ones.
