Understanding the car-sharing bonus

The car-sharing bonus is a significant initiative to encourage car-sharing in France. Find out below what it represents and how it is awarded.

What is the car-sharing bonus?

The carpooling bonus is a financial incentive offered by the government to drivers and passengers who opt to carpool. It aims to promote more sustainable mobility and reduce road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The incentive is a recognition of individual and collective efforts to adopt more environmentally-friendly modes of transport.

How is it allocated?

The car-sharing bonus is awarded according to certain eligibility criteria. It is generally distributed via the car-sharing platforms used to organize journeys. Beneficiaries can receive the bonus in a variety of forms, including vouchers for everyday consumer goods, discounts on future car-sharing journeys or a payment in euros.

Fuel vouchers and gift cards: what impact oneligibility?

Fuel vouchers and gift cards received in the past can have a significant impact on eligibility for the car-sharing bonus. Explore below how these previous benefits affect eligibility and what the specific rules are.

History of benefits received

If you have benefited from fuel vouchers or gift cards as part of the Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) scheme with specific operators such as BlaBlaCar, Klaxit, or Karos over the last 3 years, your eligibility for the car-sharing bonus is affected. Depending on the nature of the scheme in which you have participated, you may not be eligible for the short-distance car-sharing bonus.

Specific rules for cheques and cards

Eligibility for the car-sharing bonus is determined in part by benefits received in the past. Specific rules may vary, but in general, benefits received in the form of fuel vouchers or gift cards may disqualify potential carpool bonus recipients.

Special cases and exceptions

There may be special cases or exceptions depending on individual situations. It is therefore strongly recommended that you check specific details with the car-sharing operators concerned or the relevant authorities to clarify your situation.
