Mobility mix: combine car subscription, public transport and bike without wasting money

To see the overall subscription model and process: simpcar car subscription.

1) Start by mapping your "mobility weeks"

Make a simple list of your typical week:

• commute days (fixed schedule)
• errands days (flexible)
• family logistics (time critical)
• weekend trips (long distance)

2) Identify when a car is truly needed

Car value is highest when:

• time matters (kids, appointments),
• you carry people or gear,
• you travel to places without good transit.

For everything else, transit and bike can be cheaper and often faster in cities.

3) Avoid double-paying for convenience

Common trap:

• having a full transit pass and a fully owned car, but rarely using one of them.

A subscription can reduce this by letting you adapt when routines change.

4) A simple action plan

1. Choose your default for routine days (transit + bike).
2. Define your car days (weekends, trips, heavy logistics).
3. Pick a mileage package that matches those car days.
