DriveItAway Holdings and Perks at Work recently formed a partnership to offer electric vehicle (EV) subscriptions as an employee benefit at Fortune 1000 companies, according to a news release.
Perks at Work helps 70% of the Fortune 1000 companies benefit employees by providing exclusive discounts in areas ranging from travel to everyday essentials, including automotive needs. Perks at Work counts Google, Starbucks, and The Home Depot among their employer partners.
Overall, the partnership between DriveItAway Holdings and Perks at Work provides an innovative and eco-friendly alternative, while also addressing the needs of car dealerships and ride-hailing drivers. DriveItAway is a car-sharing platform that allows people to rent vehicles from car dealerships, which enables drivers to earn money by driving for ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. The company has expanded its offering to include electric vehicle subscriptions.
A full range of gas and electric vehicles are offered on the turnkey subscription to ownership app by DriveItAway and its dealer, car rental, and finance partners.
The partnership will allow employees of member companies to subscribe to electric vehicles for a fixed monthly fee, with no long-term commitment. This subscription will include insurance, maintenance, and 24/7 roadside assistance.
By subscribing to an electric vehicle, employees can enjoy the advantages of driving a clean, efficient, and emissions-free vehicle without the high upfront costs of purchasing or leasing.
In addition to meeting corporate sustainability goals, employers can reduce their parking costs, as fewer employees will need to bring their cars to work.
