Why Sponti-Car requires a strict ID check – and why that is important today
Why does Sponti-Car perform a strict ID check with driver’s license and live selfie? To protect against identity theft (over 8100 cases in Switzerland). We also offer a simple analog alternative by mail. Your data remains safe – with Stripe or without.
1.25 million Swiss digitally left behind – Sponti-Car works almost without a smartphone
About 1.25 million Swiss feel digitally left behind. At Sponti-Car we deliberately keep the doors open for everyone. One email address is sufficient for registration. Afterwards you can book the car by phone, open it with the SwissPass or the Sponti-Car card and perform an analog ID check.
With personal support and a lot of patience we also help people who have difficulties with apps and the internet. This keeps mobility in the village accessible to everyone – affordable, electric and inclusive.

Zum Glück replacement vehicles buffer the operation. We contacted Renault Switzerland directly and hope for a fair, generous solution – and that they prove themselves as a reliable fleet partner.
