Travel to Asturias by car… without a car

The year 2020 will go down in history for many reasons, not least because what started as a routine year has become anything but routine. It changed the way we see life, relate to others and travel. 

Faced with uncertainty, most of us opted for national tourism for this vacation. Rural houses, domestic landscapes and family gastronomy have again gained importance. Perhaps, the safest options for enjoying a few days of vacation in this unusual summer. 


But if there is one area of ​​Spain that stands out for offering everything a tourist could wish for right now, it is Asturias: mountains, beaches, adventure, relaxation, itineraries, cities and towns to be indelibly framed in our memory.


Furthermore, Asturias has made a great leap to be at the forefront, offering first-rate infrastructure and services that make it pleasant to be able to enjoy it. Among those proposals for modernity, from which other cities and administrations would do well to draw some lessons, there is guppy.

It is the first car sharing service in the region. This car rental company allows its users to visit the different cities of Asturias in a simple, comfortable and, above all, sustainable way. To get behind the wheel of one of their vehicles, all you have to do is download the car rental app that bears the name of guppy on your mobile.

The advantages of car sharing

Car sharing are the English words that mean "car sharing", a practice that is becoming increasingly popular in our country thanks to companies such as guppies, which offers the public a fleet of 100% electric vehicles so that they can use with a rate that the case of guppy, it depends on the kilometers traveled. 



It not only relieves the user of property-related charges (insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc.), but also ensures that you always have a state-of-the-art car available, in perfect condition and that they will only pay for the kilometers traveled (not for all those days when you park without being useful).

Renting a car with a guppy is a very convenient option, because both the booking and the management are done through its mobile app (here is the guppy app for iOS), as it is cheap: the price paid includes everything, from the cost of the parking space for recharging. 

The guppy fee for using an electric car all day is € 60.

In addition, the guppy fleet is 100% electric, so using their services contributes to the environmental health of our land. Zero emissions and all the comforts.

C o works with guppy app

The operation of this car rental application is completely intuitive. Once you have downloaded the app and accepted the privacy policy, a screen opens with four tabs: Home, vehicles, guppy points and Calculate trip.

In the vehicles tab we can see a list of the available fleet, since we are distant from each vehicle.

The Guppy Points section is perfect for not wasting time looking for an available guppy or a parking space to leave the one we have booked, as it indicates the location of those exclusive points of these vehicles. More than 60 guppy spots distributed throughout the region. 


Calculate the trip, as the name indicates, allows you to determine the route you will take to calculate the expense.

Another peculiarity that we like about guppy is that it allows us to activate the stand-by mode, which blocks the vehicle so that no one else can book it while we make a stop or walk through the center, and that the stand-by mode between 00:00 12:00 and 6:00 in the morning is totally free (for consumption over € 20). Also, you can travel in a guppy as much as you like, the only requirement is to finish the journey in a guppy area.


Conclusion o No.

At this time when many of us are discovering national tourism, a car rental app like guppy makes life easier and cheaper! We can schedule our day trips so that we don't pay for things we don't use, knowing that when we need them again, our electric car will be there, ready to take us on our new adventure.
