In honor of OuiShare Fest and Drivy’s recent €6 Million fundraising, Rude Baguette took a dive into Rude List to look at how Car-Sharing has grown in the past 18 months in Paris.
The key takeaway here is growth. Everyone is growing – members, cars – and, while it appears that Drivy is ahead (we don’t have up-to-date information on BuzzCar, but looking at their rate of growth gives us an idea), it’s clearly anyone’s game.
My prediction: expect more M&A. Either these services will continue to fusion (though the amount of money invested into them makes that less likely), or big players will start buying them. EuropCar, SNCF, or even Eurolines – Car-Sharing is growing, and everyone’s a winner.

It is a shame that Rudebaguette forgets to mention http://www.deways.com pioneer in the field and which partners with MACIF the french leader in car-insurance with 5 million cars insured… Next time hopefully 🙂
It’s a shame that Deways doesn’t inform us of their relationship with ISAI (and that Deways isn’t listed on ISAI’s portfolio page). looks like someone needs to work on their comm.
Deways is actually not in ISAI portfolio.
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and
actual effort to produce a good article… but what can I say… I
put things off a lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything
done.
