Since the beginning of the sharp increase in the price of fuel, caused, in particular, by the war in Ukraine, it has become difficult to get around every day in some places. Some were forced to cut back on their personal trips and even gave up vacations and other hobbies. On the other hand, others have no choice but to keep driving. And the reason is very simple, because they are professionals who have to take their car to go to the office, or meet clients, or patients for caregivers. What can happen now very difficult with high prices.

Europe has agreed to phase out the use of heat engines by 2035. However, the fuel tax is an important source of revenue for the French state. https://t.co/M17WH4kOC3

Generous help

Household helpers especially suffer from inflation, and their wages are already very low. So much so that some have been forced to see fewer patients, which obviously creates a real problem for public health. It is true that the aid and other discounts were useful, but in the end everything was canceled by the government. Fortunately, state authorities are trying to act on a smaller scale. This is, for example, the case in the department of Ain. There, the prefect decided to take a step by investing 2.5 million euros per year for educators. The amount used to finance the car loan for them.

Give and take

In general, more than 1300 cars provided to caregivers at home, all free of charge. In addition, all maintenance costs are covered, as well as insurance and fuel. But be careful, because to benefit from this promotion, professionals must justify the contract for at least 104 hours per month, or about 24 hours per week. So far, 150 vehicles have already been delivered by the rental company Arval, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas, chosen for this operation.
