The Guppy platform has introduced an innovative shared mobility model in Madrid, offering electric vehicle rentals without fixed costs and facilitating access to an extensive charging network and parking in the capital.

Urban mobility in Spanish cities has undergone a significant transformation, driven by traffic restrictions and the need to reduce emissions. In this context, Guppy positions itself as an alternative to car ownership, providing a flexible solution for urban travel.
The service is managed entirely through a mobile application, where users can register, locate nearby vehicles, check their status and battery level, and manage the rental. This digital system streamlines the process and allows immediate access to the car, which is crucial in urban environments like Madrid.
In the capital, one of Guppy's main attractions is its usefulness in high-demand areas. Car rental in central Madrid facilitates circulation and parking in areas where these are usually more complex. Real-time vehicle availability allows users to adapt their journeys according to their needs.

"The system in the capital is organized around two main elements: the Guppy zone and the Guppy points."

The "Guppy zone" defines the area where rentals can begin and end, also offering free parking in the SER zone. This area covers a large part of Madrid's urban space, including strategic locations such as Nuevos Ministerios, Chamartín Station, and the IFEMA parking lot in Ribera del Loira. Additionally, "Guppy points" are exclusive parking spaces in key locations like Plaza Mayor or Madrid Airport, allowing rentals to be ended without additional cost.
The service also integrates access to over 14,000 charging points across Spain, including Tesla Superchargers, and offers "Savings Vouchers" that can provide up to €200 extra for rentals, charges, or inter-provincial fees. These benefits are designed for both individuals and self-employed professionals, who can benefit from the flexibility and absence of hidden costs.
