“Italy is the largest market in the world for smart, and the smart fortwo - a perfect combination of lifestyle and functionality - is valued for being completely at home in an urban environment. That’s why we are confident that the people of Milan will experience car2go as a new, easy, and environmentally friendly way of getting around the city.” said Stefan Mueller, CEO of car2go Europe.

Interested users only pay for the actual car usage by the minute, with the total price including taxes, insurance, fuel, parking costs or congestion charges linked to the area in which the cars are driven.
