Arval italia opens two stores in Milan and Florence

With the trend of rental to private individuals in constant growth (it is estimated that there are over 65,000 vehicles rented to this type of consumer in our country), Arval Italia, a leading company in long-term car rental and innovative and sustainable mobility services, is expanding and diversifies its offer to meet the new mobility demands of people, who are now increasingly careful to evaluate alternative solutions to buying a car. For this reason, Arval’s “core” long-term rental product which provides, for a fixed monthly fee, the rental of the vehicle for 36 or 48 months, 100,000 km and many services included (ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, 24-hour assistance , insurance coverage, home delivery, evaluation and possible collection of used items …), new mobility proposals dedicated to individuals are added today. From the long to medium term, Arval’s therefore becomes a 360 ° rental offer. Light Rental: is a proposal built for “light users”, ie those who make moderate use of the car and is characterized by maximum accessibility, also by virtue of the initial advance, equal to zero. It provides for the rental for 60 months and 40,000 kilometers included, which can be increased at the request of the customer. The fee is always fixed and, even in this case, it includes the main rental services (ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, assistance 24 hours a day, insurance coverage, home delivery, evaluation and possible collection of used vehicles …). Flix Lease: is a solution that provides for the rental of the car for a minimum period of 6 months after which, the customer is free to return the car or to continue to keep it for as long as he needs. It is possible to choose, from a selection of ever-new vehicles, the make and model of your favorite car; the advance is equal to 0 and, again against a fixed monthly fee, 18,000 kilometers are available within 6 months, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, 24-hour assistance, insurance coverage, all season tires, home delivery or collection at a selection of Arval Premium Centers or Arval Centers, repairers belonging to the Arval preferential Network. The delivery of the car is expected within 7 days. Arval Mid Term for Private: is the monthly rental from 1 to 24 months of Arval, already available for 5 years for business customers and now also usable by individuals. A product characterized by maximum flexibility: you can choose between different categories of cars (from city cars to compact cars up to SUVs and station wagons), delivery is scheduled within 72 hours at one of the Arval Premium Centers or Arval Centers that offer the service or, on request, at home. The down payment is always zero and the minimum rental period is one month. It is an ideal solution for all those who have temporary, professional but also personal mobility needs, such as a one month “long” holiday. “Thanks to all these new products, – says Alessandro Pigazzi, Retail Director of Arval Italia – we are able to offer consumers mobility solutions from 1 month to 5 years, in line with the Mobility 360 ° and Connected & Flexible offers provided for by Arval Beyond five-year strategic plan which aims to offer increasingly diversified and flexible mobility solutions. The pandemic has changed many people’s lifestyle habits and also the way they travel. The rental, due to its characteristics of simplicity, safety and convenience, is gaining more and more consensus among private consumers, so much so that, in the last year, the Arval Italia fleet leased to individuals has grown by about 60%. For this reason, we wanted to expand our product portfolio, to guarantee everyone the ideal rental solution for their needs and to support all people looking for a safe, flexible and easy-to-access mobility solution “. Not just new products. To better reach all people interested in renting a car, Arval Italia opens two new Arval Stores, in Milan and Florence, which are added to the Arval Store in Turin inaugurated in 2019. The Arval Stores are “mobility shops” , entirely dedicated to rental. In the Arval Stores, customers have the opportunity to speak personally with the consultants, to touch the cars firsthand, to see and test the vehicles on display. The “premium” experience here is guaranteed by the value-added services that are offered: the valuation of used vehicles is available in a few minutes, while the delivery of the car, for vehicles available in the shop, is expected within just 10 days. All Arval Stores have an internal exhibition space with a reception area, an area reserved for consultancy and sales and a corner with interactive content, and an outdoor exhibition space, where the cars on display and the delivery area are located. . “After the positive experience of the Arval Store in Turin, we have decided to expand our network of stores dedicated to rental, in addition to the other access points available to private consumers, such as the site, OEMs, dealers and the many active partnerships with different actors ”explains Alessandro Pigazzi. “The Arval Stores are created for those who need to touch the product firsthand and to interact directly with our consultants: in short, they are the realization of our phygital approach to the market, which combines the digital aspect with the physical one. Physical interaction is an important element for the customer: especially in the last year and a half, the consumer has learned to make the most of the digital environment but also wants to interact with people and with the product “.
