Free2Move is a leader in mobility, and offers a complete ecosystem for private and professional customers, with tailor-made solutions that offer multiple vehicle access options through a single web-based and mobile app. The group is accelerating the deployment of its Mobility Hub services globally, as the needs of B2B and B2C customer needs begin to converge.
"Free2Move reaffirms its unique positioning and international leadership in the mobility market. We have all the talent, cutting-edge technology, a strong brand and a sustainable business model that will allow us to continue our deployment pace and achieve our goals,” explains Brigitte Courtehoux, Free2Move CEO.

We support our customers in their freedom of movement and facilitate their travel with a 360° mobility offer. We are proud to have created and marketed our mobility hub which covers all needs and all use-cases ranging from a few minutes, days, months or years. We are now positioned as the international leader in all the forms of mobility.”
