    Here it’s more like 40-200 eur per year for insurance and 60+ to rent for a day

    But if you can get your shit done in an hour or 2, Bolt Drive or Citybee are prolly gonna cost you under 20.

      I just checked the website of Citybee. That seems quite similar to the service I use actually.

      The one here is called Mobility you pay by time and by kilometer. Around 2.50 CHF / h and 0.75 CHF / km, but it depends on the category of vehicle of course. I used it for about 3h and 50km for that airport trip.

        Ah yeah. When people say “rent” I still read it as Hertz/Avis/Sixt/Enterprise in my head lol

        To be fair, anything over a day, these seem cheaper. But yeah, for a few hours, my preference is Bolt Drive as it’s convenient and a local company unlike Citybee which I think is Lithuanian. It still serves as an alternative though

          Yeah for full days or long distances the older places can be cheaper. Also for vans for moving furniture.

          I helped in a move once where they had gotten a van from Mobility. Suddenly we had to start hurrying with the loading and unloading because the cheapskate had reserved only minimal time, I think like two or three hours. That was the worst thing ever, as if moving furniture isn’t a bad enough activity already, lol.

            For short distances, Bolt Drive has very good van pricing actually. Anything longer, there’s a mechanic in my hometown whose van has a big turbo setup and a subwoofer. Fast n loud piece of junk, feels like it’s gonna fall apart, but he charges 25 euros a day and doesn’t care how much you drive.
