COVID-19 Locauto’s commitment to phase 2.

Milan, May 6, 2020. In such a delicate and revitalizing phase for the Country System, Locauto continues to be at the side of those who need to move, travel and transport, through its network of rental offices-operational even in the most critical moments of the emergency-positioning itself as a viable alternative to transportation by trains, planes and buses for individuals and companies.

Among the initiatives activated for the country’s recovery and “normalization” phase, Locauto has focused its attention on protecting the health of its staff and each customer, adopting protective devices and social distancing actions in all rental offices and carrying out scrupulous sanitization procedures for all vehicles in the fleet, which include a real “sealing” operation of the car until the customer picks it up, who can then remove the adhesive seals and access the vehicle in total autonomy and safety.

The Locauto for Italy initiative, inaugurated a few weeks ago to support entities engaged in population support activities, is now also extended to customers and evolving with dedicated pricing packages such as: the Family & Friends and Business carpooling formulas to optimize the travel of people from the same household or work colleagues, the Viaggio A Lasciare option to return the vehicle to another city at no additional cost, and incentives to the Locauto Mese+ multi-month rental formula, with advantageous conditions depending on the duration of the rental, with the guarantee for the customer to always drive the same vehicle.

To facilitate the return to mobility for each customer and for young students and workers who wish to return to their home regions, the company has promoted a series of dedicated services, modes and offers: in addition to the full self-service rental Locauto Elefast, to pick up and deliver your car in complete autonomy through your smartphone, the company has activated a few months ago Locauto Young, the first car rental service designed for those who have just obtained their driver’s license in both daily and monthly versions, and Locauto Express to receive or return your car directly at your home or workplace in a simple and safe way.

“The dramatic emergency we are experiencing, which has affected the entire rental sector, needs to be tackled with decision and spirit of initiative,” says Raffaella Tavazza, Vice President of Locauto. Rental companies are at the center of this important challenge for the relaunch of mobility throughout the country, guaranteeing personalized rental services, with transparent conditions and oriented to the needs of each customer, moving away from logics based mainly on online price comparisons. We are all engaged in facing an unexpected situation: but as I always say, in the most difficult situations is the time to dare to find new and unexpected solutions.”
