QUADRIGA GIVES CUSTOMERS ONE CAR FOR TRAFFIC AND ONE FOR THE OPEN ROAD
Added: (Thu Oct 15 2009)
For anyone who understands the need for an economical, low emission, fuel efficient car for driving in city traffic but yearns for something more luxurious for special trips and weekends away, Quadriga’s intelligent car ownership concept answers their needs, exactly.
Quadriga gives its customers their own eco car; a low or zero emission car for everyday driving, together with shared access to an exceptional collection of pool cars for out of town trips and occasions when a bit more comfort and range is required. Eco car choices include Smart ForTwo, a Fiat 500, Citroen C1 electric car and several other stylish city cars, as well as an electric scooter for those wanting to take to the saddle. And all the boring paperwork is taken care of by Quadriga, including insurance, servicing, congestion charging, maintenance costs, MOT and registration renewals and parking permits. All you need to do is fill up with petrol or charge up the battery. Then when the occasion demands you just drop of your eco car and jump into something special, such as a Range Rover, a Porsche or a Jaguar. Off you go without a care in the world. And when you get back your reliable runabout will be waiting – cleaned, serviced and ready to go.
And that’s it – the perfect answer for anyone who loves beautiful cars but prefers an eco-friendly car for town driving.
Prices are comparable with standard leases, starting at £150 a month for an electric scooter, inclusive of insurance, congestion charges, parking and servicing. A Mini Cooper costs from £325 a month, inclusive, and the top price is a Citroen C1 electric car at £500 a month. And an additional £250 a month buys you seven days of luxury motoring in the marque of your choice.
Quadriga (Latin for Roman four wheeled chariot) is the brainchild of business partners Sanjin Bjeloberk and Stas van Bilderbeek who came up with this idea of combining eco-friendly, hassle free motoring with the opportunity to break free every now and then and drive something very special.
Says Sanjin: “Anyone living in a major city recognises the need for low emission, convenient cars and these are, of course, the responsible choice. But for many of us the desire to drive something more luxurious lingers. Our customers can enjoy the best of both worlds – for seven days a month they can get behind the wheel of a luxury car in the knowledge that on the other 23 days or so their car is electric, low emission or not even a car at all but an electric scooter. We have done our sums and the fact is that despite occasionally driving one of our luxury cars, a Quadriga customer leaves a smaller carbon footprint than the average VW or Honda driver. And we offer a great solution for electric car drivers who can use our pool cars when they need more range”.
Based in Park Lane, Quadriga’s unique offering is available to drivers within the M25 and there are plans to extend to other major cities.
