What if you didn’t need to own a car?
Owning a car is expensive – even a small one. The AA estimates the cost of ownership at around $8,000 per year. That’s $22 every single day, whether you drive it or not.
Now imagine keeping that money in your pocket.
What if you only needed a car… occasionally?
If you already own a bike or live near a good bus route, maybe it’s time to rethink whether you need a car at all – or at least, not a second one.
By going car-free or car-light, you can save on:
- Insurance and registration
- Warrant of Fitness and annual servicing
- Fuel, oil, tyres, wiper blades, and other maintenance
- Parking fees and tickets.
Mevo – Cars when you need them
Need a vehicle for a big grocery shop, furniture pickup, or weekend trip? Mevo makes it easy. Mevo lets you rent an electric vehicle (EV) by the hour or day right here in Nelson. Just book through the app, unlock with your phone, and drive.
Even if you rent a car once a fortnight, you’d still spend less than $1,000 a year, saving up to $7,000 compared to owning one.
Nelson City Council even has dedicated Mevo carshare parking spaces in Wakatu Square & Buxton Car Park.
