Can You Live Without Owning a Car? Best Alternatives

Is It Really Necessary to Own a Car?

Nowadays, owning a car might seem indispensable. Whether it’s for commuting to work, running errands, or traveling to places with limited public transport, having your own vehicle makes daily life easier. But is it truly essential? Can we all afford this luxury?

Everything That Comes with Owning a Car

One of the main factors influencing the decision to buy a car is the cost—not only the initial purchase but also maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel. Additionally, finding parking can be challenging, and renting a parking space can be expensive.

Another aspect to consider is the environmental impact. Many people choose not to buy a car due to its ecological footprint, opting instead for public transport or car-sharing alternatives.

Yes, You Can Live Without a Car

Deciding not to own a car doesn’t mean you have limited mobility. There are multiple options available that allow you to get around without a car:

Car Rental for Vacations

If you have a second home where you vacation, you can opt for vehicle leasing, which offers convenience without the commitment of purchasing a car.

Car Hire for Getaways

For remote destinations where public transport isn’t viable, renting a car can be the best solution. With a wide variety of models and prices, you can find the perfect vehicle for every trip.

Hourly Rentals for Occasional Trips

There are times when you only need a car for a few hours. With hourly rentals, you can select the vehicle that best suits your needs and pick it up at the most convenient location.

Carsharing: A New Mobility Alternative

With the evolution of mobility, carsharing has emerged as a sustainable and flexible option. This system allows you to rent vehicles for short periods, paying only for the time you use them.

Unlike conventional rental, carsharing vehicles are distributed throughout the city. Through the upcoming Malco App, you can pick up and return your car in the center of Castellón, all within the designated service area.

This system is not only economical but also helps reduce the number of cars on the road, thereby decreasing traffic congestion and environmental impact.
