Today in Prague, you can find over 600 shared hybrid Toyota cars – from the efficient Yaris to the family-friendly Corolla, the spacious C-HR, or the compact Aygo X – all conveniently distributed throughout the city. In the Anytime app, they appear on a single map alongside hundreds of lightweight scooters that complement the micromobility network and allow for quick movement through Prague’s dense city center. You don’t have to return the car or scooter to a fixed location – just park it anywhere within the permitted zone, and the app will automatically check that the vehicle is correctly parked and locked.
Young couples, students, and regular city visitors no longer need to worry about owning a car, maintenance, parking, or fueling. Instead, they have access to over 600 cars and more than 100 scooters available across the entire city. The real-time interactive map shows the nearest available cars and scooters – ready to ride in just seconds.
Here’s how it can work in real life: Markéta is rushing to an after-work meeting in Karlín. From her flat in Dejvice, she books a scooter via the app and rides across the city within minutes, avoiding traffic jams and detours thanks to the scooter’s agility. For the way back, she switches to a comfortable Toyota C-HR, loads her groceries or anything else she needs, and parks near her home – no need to return the car where it originally came from.
Carsharing with a pay-as-you-drive model means you only pay for the actual time spent driving (from CZK 0.99/min) and kilometers driven (from CZK 2.99/km), with all operating costs – fuel, compulsory insurance, washing, maintenance, even motorway stickers – included in the price. On the other hand, owning a car comes with monthly lease payments, servicing, technical inspections, winter tires, fuel, and parking permits. And most of the time, the car just sits parked unused. For the younger generation that values flexibility and transparent pricing, the key benefit is instant car access without any long-term financial commitment.
Time savings also come from how quickly you can get started – the app reserves the car for 20 minutes free of charge, giving you time to reach it and unlock it calmly using your phone. No keys to collect, no paperwork, no deposits.
In our real-world example, Ondřej, an IT consultant, uses a scooter in the morning to get to the metro quickly, and later books a Toyota Yaris for dinner with colleagues – all with a single app and AnytimeCar.cz account.
Urban Mobility 2.0 is built on connecting different modes of transport. Use a scooter for short, fast city center trips and a car for shopping or weekend getaways. A single journey might start on a scooter, continue with public transport or bikesharing, and finish with a car from the outskirts – all within a single reservation. Anytime vehicles are also located near major public transit hubs and parking finders, allowing you to plan your trips efficiently without unnecessary wandering.
While carsharing continues to grow globally, operators in the Czech Republic face challenges such as price sensitivity, parking regulations, and competition from taxi apps. Some companies have stagnated or disappeared, but major players like Anytime continue expanding their fleet and investing in hybrids and scooters. For cities, it’s essential to implement policies that support shared micromobility – from free scooter parking to multimodal hubs in new business zones.
Recent trends include hourly or weekend flat-rate packages that give you access to a car or scooter for a set price, all easily managed in the app. The future lies in electric scooters with charging infrastructure, autonomous mini-vehicles for last-mile transport, and blockchain fleet management. This evolution will push Urban Mobility 2.0 to the next level – one where decentralization, sustainability, and data-driven route optimization take center stage.
