Renault Group launches “Cars to Work”

Cars to Work is an offer that provides cars for free to people during their job 3-month trial period. Cars that they only start to pay at affordable conditions once their job is secured. Cars made accessible to those who need them the most, in partnership with the French Public Employment Service.

The strategic process engaged different partners:

- FranceTravail.fr, the French public employment service, to understand the link between mobility deserts & employment

- Adie, Caisse d'Epargne, Parcours Confiance to understand car financing hurdles

- Representatives of garages and dealerships for building support

This process led to an insight: “No Car, no job. No job, no loan. No loan, no Car.”

54% of French job-seekers have turned down a job offer because of mobility issues. And in France, a new job starts with a 3-month trial period where you can be fired any time, so you are not eligible for car loans.

“No Car, no job. No job, no loan. No loan, no Car.” A vicious circle for society’s most fragile, a creator of social exclusion.

A vicious circle that Renault Group could break with this unique and new offer dedicated to people in trial period who can’t buy a car.

Cars to Work is an offer accessible through a new dedicated ecosystem:

-Cars to Work network of 50 dealerships in mobility deserts across France
