Ear Piercing And Seizure

Flink Rochester in reality arrived

announced in the autumn at the start of the German Railway Flink Most . This week's offer began in Stuttgart.

The Flink emphasized near Rochester and Call-a-bike in the announcement in November, led by experts on the expectation that Flink Most new elements of call-a-bike (stationslos and / or one-way) to introduce car sharing. Flink Rochester was so often mentioned in relation to car2go of Daimler. It is now clear that Flink Rochester comes along much like the "classic" car-sharing: access station based and without instant, without one-way.

The power station should also have a new quality: a dense network of stations in the center near the city. In Stuttgart Flink Most of the announcement is still a long way, here the "classic city of the mobile network much better. In Cologne, we have succeeded significantly better, perhaps because to the team with many years of car-sharing experience Cologne care. So also the network is not really news.

But the type of vehicle is for the new car sharing: Alfa Romeo MiTo. Chic and sporty, but in many ways, but not as convenient and comes back seat and trunk too much crowded. The future will show whether the MiTo turns out to be the more popular car-sharing vehicle. Doubt, but certainly not without foundation.

is unique not entirely new but the current rate: 1.50 € per hour, 25 cents per km. Simple and attractive at first glance. So it's worth a collective comparison of Flink windows and the two providers in Stuttgart and Cologne:

providers Tariff
Short drive (2 hours, 17 km)
Mid-length trip
(8 hours, 77 km)

day trip (24 hours, 149 km)
week,
(7 days, 749 km)
Flink Most € 7.25 € 31.25 € 73.25 € 434.25
Stadtmobil S Classic / Mini Studi € 5.66 € 24.26 € 45.84 € 236.84
City Mobile Mini S VVS € 6.40 € 27.40 € 52.84 € 253.84
cambio comfort vehicle class 1 € 6.06 € 25.86 € 43.35 € 208.35
cambio Active Vehicle Class 1 6.97 € € 29.77 € 49.33 € 234.33
cambio launch vehicle class 1 € 8.73 € 37.53 € 60.31 € 265.31



The table shows that the fares of Flink Most are usually well above the car-sharing rates, for day and multi-day trips will Flink Ster even really expensive. So if you regularly (auto) will be mobile, runs on the standard fare of Flink Most relatively expensive and at a high excess of 1000 €. With the savings package and security package, you can change that. But that is probably linked to 30 € (!) Monthly fee (instead of 3-10 EUR for most "normal" car-sharing rates). Why probably? Whether the 20 EUR of the austerity package will be counted as travel accounts, you can not clear from the website, for on the cost side, there are clearly contradictory to Statements.


short Flink Rochester is so modern, but on closer inspection there is no real innovation, and only seems attractively priced. Thus, Flink Most especially a clever marketing concept, which still has to prove whether it can convince the customer permanently.
