Car in the workshop? Short-term rental to the rescue
There are days when your own car is a steady constant—and then there are the days when reality steps in.
The workshop calls to say they’ll need your car for a full week, the issue is more complex than expected,
and suddenly your carefully planned schedule has holes everywhere. Petr, a 34-year-old project manager in Prague,
knows the feeling all too well. He didn’t want to rely on last-minute lifts, endless taxi receipts, or long transfers
on public transport between meetings. Instead, he opened the Anytime app, reserved a nearby car in minutes,
and found it waiting on his street. “It was honestly simpler than using my own car—no servicing to plan,
no fuel to worry about, no guessing where to park; I just got in and drove,” he says, recalling how he picked
different models during the week depending on whether he was heading to the office, visiting a site,
or taking his family out. The freedom to match the car to the task, without owning the cost and hassle,
turned what could have been a chaotic week into a manageable one.
One family car, two schedules—how to make it work
Jana and Michal usually manage with a single family car; on ordinary days the routine syncs up,
but anyone with kids knows that plans like to change at the worst possible moment.
When their car stalled on the opposite side of the city and Jana found herself stuck with two tired children,
Michal didn’t spend time calling friends or waiting for a tow. He opened Anytime, grabbed the closest car,
and was already on his way across Prague. “It was a huge relief to have a car available right away,” he says.
Over the next few days, until their own vehicle returned from the service bay, they kept relying on Anytime
for school runs, errands, and a doctor’s appointment, surprised by how comfortable it felt to have a dependable
backup that also covered fuel and city parking in the price. For a family juggling calendars, the ability
to pay only for the time they actually use the car made more sense than adding a second car—and all the fixed
costs that come with it.
Need more space today? Pick a bigger car only when you need it
Not every reason is an emergency. Martin, an avid cyclist and weekend adventurer, turns to Anytime whenever
the day’s cargo outgrows his everyday hatchback. “When I bought a new TV, there was no chance it would fit,”
he laughs. “I took a larger Anytime car for a couple of hours and that was it—no asking favors and no hiring a van.”
The same trick applies to mountain-bike trips: a few taps in the app and he can choose a roomier model that
swallows bikes, helmets, muddy shoes, and a friend or two. He enjoys the feeling of scaling his car to the occasion—
compact for quick city hops, spacious for bulky purchases or gear-heavy weekends—without committing to owning
a larger vehicle year-round. The all-inclusive pricing (fuel, insurance, and permitted-zone parking covered)
keeps the calculation simple: use it, enjoy it, return it, done.
Gave your car to your parents? Keep your own day moving
Good deeds can complicate your calendar. Tomáš lent his car to his parents for a weekend trip to their cottage,
and the very next morning a client called with an urgent face-to-face request in the center of Prague.
Public transport would have cost him precious time with multiple changes, while a taxi for a day of shuttling
between addresses would add up quickly. With Anytime, he had a car within ten minutes, made the meeting on time,
and stayed flexible for follow-ups across the city. For people with demanding schedules—consultants, sales reps,
freelancers—mobility that appears when needed and disappears when it doesn’t is often the difference between
chasing the day and being one step ahead of it.
When your day is a map full of pins
Some days, public transport is perfectly fine; other days, your calendar reads like a scavenger hunt.
Lenka, a forty-year-old lawyer, now starts the Anytime app whenever she faces a chain of meetings that pull her
across Prague: a morning in Karlín, an early afternoon hearing at Pankrác, and an evening training in Dejvice.
“Doing that loop by metro and tram would drain my energy—and my time,” she admits.
With Anytime, she takes a car only for the hours she needs it, skipping the gaps and transfers,
arriving prepared rather than frazzled. She likes that parking in designated city zones is covered
and that she doesn’t have to think about fuel or servicing, because the whole point is to make a complex day
feel simpler. And when the day is done, she ends the rental and returns to her usual routine—no monthly commitments,
no extra keys on the ring.

a bulky purchase that needs extra space, or a workday stitched together across the city,

with fuel, insurance, and city-zone parking included, and you pick the car that fits the job rather than the other way around.
