In tune with modern travel trends in cities, the scheme offers numerous advantages compared to car ownership or traditional car hire:

• An economical solution for occasional car use
• No need to pay for insurance, maintenance, parking, etc.
• Self-service pick-up and drop-off points, accessible 24h a day, 7 days a week
• Online reservation at any time or via a hotline
• Reservation available for periods starting at just one hour
• Pick-up points located close to bus stops or tram or metro stations

Lilas gives access to a car to everyone: from people who can’t afford one to those who have chosen not to own one but occasionally need a car.

The car-sharing scheme is supported by a number of partners, in particular the French Environment Agency, and is a Collective Interest Cooperative Company under French law, which aims to bring about changes in attitudes towards car use while offering a sustainable transport alternative.

Another link in the chain of mobility, Lilas remains close to people's everyday travelling requirements.
