An independent guide to make choosing easier
Shared cars are becoming increasingly popular, but there is no independent place to compare providers and plans side by side in a fair way. Deelautowijzer.nl aims to fill that gap, with figures instead of advertising.
Why this site exists
Every provider has its own rates, its own types of plans, and its own extras. With one you pay per hour and per kilometre, with another there is a monthly fee, with a third a deposit with or without an excess. What suits you best depends on how often and how far you drive.
It is tempting to simply go with what a friend or neighbour uses. But that is not always the smartest choice for your situation. Deelautowijzer.nl wants to make that decision process simple: you fill in a few questions about how you drive and the site calculates what a trip is likely to cost. No opinion, just figures. And a guide with articles for those who want to read more.
For someone who drives 25,000 kilometres a year, owning a car is often still the smartest choice. For someone who drives 5,000 kilometres, the picture is different. The goal is for you to make a well-informed decision, whichever direction that may be.
Who is behind it
Hans van der Klok
I'm Hans. Eight years ago I sold my car: I barely used it, but I was paying high fixed costs. Since then I cycle where I can, take the train when that works, and when neither option fits I choose a shared car. What struck me: choosing between providers can be complicated. Deelautowijzer.nl is my attempt to make that simple and fair, with figures and without sales talk.
In my day job I build digital products that solve a problem and streamline processes that could be improved. Always with a good user experience as the goal.
