Discover answers to the most frequently asked questions about KNAVE Mobility solution.
KNAVE Mobility is for manufacturers and distribution groups seeking to implement a profitable rental program within their network.
This single term covers all internal and external uses of cars in your points of sale: courtesy, assistance, leisure. It covers various user profiles (BtoB/BtoC) and durations.
KNAVE is the only player to offer a ‘one-stop shop’ approach integrating financing, insurance, technology platform and operational management of rental programs.
At the launch of the program, KNAVE purchases and insures the vehicles dedicated to rental. These vehicles remain in the distributor’s network and are rented out via KNAVE’s digital tools. They are no longer carried on the distributor’s balance sheet, and they generate an additional rental income, plus aftersales revenues. Finally, once they leave the rental program, they are sold as used vehicles with a margin.
New or used, all vehicle types are eligible: from passenger cars and mopeds to leisure vehicles, utility vans, motorcycles, and even boats.
Consumer habits are evolving, and rental is gradually preferred over ownership
