[2/10]
SUMMARY
This playbook explores the shift from inefficient private car ownership to flexible subscription models. CaaS creates a more sustainable and economically efficient mobility system by unlocking the value of massively underutilized vehicles.
Car-as-a-Service
[3/10]
CONTEXT
The dominant model of personal mobility is private car ownership, an expensive and inefficient system where vehicles—a household's second-largest expense—sit idle for an average of 95% of the time.
Car-as-a-Service
[4/10]
PROBLEM
The private ownership model is fundamentally unsustainable: 1. Economic Inefficiency: Massive personal capital is locked into depreciating, underutilized assets. 2. Urban Congestion & Space: Cities are designed around cars and parking, consuming valuable real estate and causing chronic traffic. 3. Environmental Burden: The model encourages a higher number of cars on the road, increasing resource consumption and emissions.
Car-as-a-Service
[5/10]
SOLUTION
Car-as-a-Service (CaaS) decouples driving from ownership via a flexible subscription. Users pay a single monthly fee for access to a vehicle, which typically includes insurance, maintenance, and roadside assistance, eliminating the hassles of ownership.
Car-as-a-Service
[6/10]
CHALLENGES
The transition to a service model faces major hurdles: 1. Unit Economics: Profitability depends on maximizing fleet utilization, which requires sophisticated logistical management. 2. Consumer Mindset Shift: Overcoming the deep cultural and emotional attachment to owning a personal vehicle is a major behavioral barrier. 3. Regulatory & Insurance Complexity: Navigating the complex web of insurance and liability regulations that vary by region is a significant challenge to scaling.

[7/10]
TRENDS
The market is being shaped by both incumbents and startups: • OEM Subscription Platforms: Automakers like Volvo (Care by Volvo) and Porsche (Porsche Drive) are launching their own CaaS offerings to build direct customer relationships. • Dedicated CaaS Startups: Companies like FINN are building asset-light, tech-first platforms to streamline the subscription experience for a wide range of vehicles. • EV & Data Integration: CaaS is a natural fit for EVs, allowing providers to bundle charging and manage battery health, while using telematics data to optimize fleet performance.
Car-as-a-Service
[8/10]
OPPORTUNITY
The global automotive industry is a multi-trillion dollar market. CaaS transforms it from a transactional model to a recurring revenue service, unlocking value from underutilized assets. The broader "transportation-as-a-service" market is projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030.
Car-as-a-Service
[9/10]
THE NEED
To accelerate the shift to access over ownership: • Automakers must design cars for service, with durable, easy-to-clean interiors and modular components for efficient maintenance. • Cities need to support CaaS by reallocating public space from private parking to dedicated hubs for shared and subscription fleets. • Insurers & Financial Institutions must develop new, flexible products tailored to the high-utilization, fleet-based CaaS model.
