The news came yesterday: the French start-up Drivy, specialising in car-sharing between individuals, is passed under the american flag for $ 300 million, has learned Le Figaro . Direct consequence: the creation of the first platform of car-sharing in the world. Getaround is the precursor to the model since the company was created in 2009 for launch of the service in 2011. In France, Drivy was founded in 2010, exactly on the same niche... and on the same observation. "The car is an anomaly in economic and environmental. The concept of ownership is no longer a priority now, it is the use that predominates," says Quentin Lestavel, ceo of Drivy, which was previously at Deezer, in a market that has experienced the same mutations: the end of the CD and a form of physical ownership of music to the lease.

The model most praised on Drivy? Of course, this is the one that the French buy the most: the city and/or the family. The Renault Scénic or Clio, for example, are in high demand. "Almost ten years after the creation of Drivy, one realizes that the perception of the car by its owner has changed, note Quentin Lestavel. The car is less and less considered as a piece of jewelry. The owners are now in a process utilitarian." In the same way as with Airbnb, there are fewer brakes to the rental of his apartment, individual cars are more easily rented.
