15 Reasons Why HoppyGo Is Better Than Rental Car

Do you need to rent a car and your mind automatically goes to a classic car rental company? We will show you that there is a more advantageous alternative – peer-to-peer carsharing! What is it? Sharing cars between owners and drivers, simply and without paperwork thanks to the HoppyGo app. Our platform has several advantages over regular car rental companies – price levels, rental comfort, but also a wide selection of cars and environmental aspects. Have a read below and judge for yourself.

Price

The total amount you pay for renting a car reflects the rate per day and the refundable deposit, surcharges for various equipment, and often even charges for traveling abroad. It may happen that you really don’t know how much you will end up paying until the car from a rental company is ready for you to pick up. Shouldn’t things be more transparent? With HoppyGo we offer pricing details as you order the vehicle, upfront with no hidden fees.

Deposit of either CZK 5 000 or CZK 1 000 depending on insurance selected.

Attractive discounts for long-term rentals (3 or more days 20%, 7-13 days 30%, 14-29 days 40%, 30+ days 50%).

The price is the same, regardless of when you’re booking the vehicle.

Surcharge for traveling abroad

Information of highway vignette or other equipment offered at time of rental, no extra fees.

The vignette does not have to be included in the price and no additional equipment is offered.

When you make a reservation you know the final price of the rental.

Additional fees and insurance are available at the car rental desk, and offered as an upsell.

Convinience

Your time is valuable. Choosing a car on a rental website does not complete the process. Usually, you have to make a reservation by phone or electronically, drive a few kilometers for this (probably some airport), present your credit card, sign a contract, and follow other handover protocols. In addition, you have to push everything into the opening hours of the rental. Doesn’t this just seem too long? There is an easier way!

Credit card required.

You can find the car as close as possible to your desired handover location. You can also arrange a handover time with the owner.

You have to pick the car up at a branch location. The handover time is subject to opening hours.

The vehicle may have a parking permit for certain zones in the city.

It is always required to pay for parking.

Choice

On the rental website, you choose a car and book it. Then when you take over, you will find that the car from the picture is not quite the car you get, it just part of the same “class of vehicle”. How about knowing that the car you choose will always be the one you get? With HoppyGo you choose from 2,500 cars, and you get the one you see in the pictures.

Traditional Rental

With one application, you can choose from over 2500 vehicles ranging from small cars to the city, through delivery vans to minivans for a large bunch, and sports cars for an adventure ride.

Car rentals offer limited class types and vehicles to choose from (cars, vans, sports cars).

Would you like a specific car model in red colour? You get exactly what you booked!

You are assigned a car similar to the selected one, it can cost extra for a change.

Vehicle rating is real (from people who rented the vehicle).

The rating is artificially created, it is adjusted according to the capacity of cars and other factors.

Enviromental impact

The average car spends 95% of its time parked. Nobody wants to make a huge parking lot out of a city. One shared vehicle can replace up to 8 others and saves between 10 to 35 tonnes of CO2 a year.
