HELBIZ: All The Car in The World
“The More We Share, The More We Have”
Have you ever think that owning a car is actually meaningles? As the time goes by, the car will drop in value, you will spend more money for regular maintenance & reparation and the worst, you become one of the cause to global warming.
If you buying a car with personal loan then you spend your life paying something that will put you in jeopardy of being unable to pay for a necessity. It will also affect your credit rating.
Let’s take a step back and think about it for a second. Imagine if you decide not to buy a car, how could it affect you? From a consumer perspective, eliminating a car payment would alleviate a hefty financial burden for most Americans. Vehicle expenses are the second-largest expense for Americans, yet most cars are sit unused over 90 percent of the time. RMI estimates that not having to own a car would save consumers $1 trillion per year, with the lowest-income Americans benefiting the most. And the best thing is, it helps reduce the transportation emission.
Helbiz, the P2P car sharing company, wants to change the “old behavior” and enable people to become part of that solution by introducing a direct access to all kinds of vehicles without need to own one.
The Helbiz platform is connecting current vehicle owners with those in need of transportation. There is no need to meet face to face, vehicle owners could just park their car or bicycle at public parking lot; and user can find the vehicle and unlock it automatically using Helbiz app from their smartphone.
No it is not magic! It is a decentralized platform built using blockchain technology. Blockchain technology could make “trusted” sharing between private individuals without interposed intermediaries. The blockchain technology can be seen as a tamper proof method to share information. It could transform the way society interacts in day-to-day life; just as the internet brought about instant digital communication, the Blockchain can bring near instant and secure digital asset transfer and movement.
Helbiz is the first platform allowing owners to rent out their vehicles without any manual involvement and users to unlock and start any private car from the app and drive off without the need for communication, bookings or a key exchange.
By leading the path toward more sustainable and transparent business practices, Helbiz is reducing car ownership and gas emissions, and decentralizing all the process including keeping consumers data safe and untouchable.
