Going abroad for several months? Rent out your car to help finance your trip

Are you going away for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or more? A world tour, temporary expatriation, an assignment abroad or simply a break from everyday life: before leaving, one question often comes up… what should you do with your car while you’re away?

Leaving it parked for several weeks or months is not always the best option. A car that does not run can deteriorate, still costs money, and remains unused when it could be useful to someone else.

Why rent out your car when you’re away for a long time?

Renting out your car while you are away first allows you to generate extra income. This money can help finance part of your trip: activities, restaurants, hotels, transport or even part of your flight ticket. In some cases, it can even help you travel for longer.

It is also a good way to keep your car running and avoid leaving it unused for too long.

The limits of short-term rental platforms

Today, platforms such as Getaround or Turo allow private individuals to rent out their cars. However, their model is often based on short-term rentals, with several renters using the car one after another.

The problem is that this requires a lot of management: handling requests, key handovers, organization, rental follow-up… When you are abroad or away for several months, this model can quickly become restrictive.

The Loula solution: one renter, over a longer period

At Loula Autopartage, we have designed a simpler solution: one sharing agreement, with one renter, for a period of 1 to 12 months.

The idea is to allow car owners to rent out their vehicle over the medium or long term, with a fixed monthly income, without multiplying rentals or managing several different drivers.

It is a particularly suitable solution if you are going away for a long time and are looking for something simple, stable and predictable.

Renting out your car in a practical, economical and responsible way

Renting out your car with Loula while you are away means:

• avoiding leaving a vehicle unused;

• generating monthly income;

• simplifying management with a single renter;

• helping someone access a mobility solution.

It is also a more responsible, collaborative approach: making better use of existing resources rather than leaving a car sitting unused for months.

In summary

If you are going away for a long period, Loula is a particularly suitable solution.

Rather than leaving your car parked and unused, you can share it simply, keep it running, generate income and help someone who needs it.

One car, one renter, one fixed monthly income: a simple solution to leave with peace of mind.
