For 41-year-old Luděk, living in Plzeň, owning a car had always been an important part of his independence. Having his own vehicle meant being able to travel whenever he needed, organise his schedule freely and manage everyday responsibilities without relying on alternative transport.

Carsharing was not something he had seriously considered. He had always preferred owning a vehicle to borrowing or sharing one, and for years had little reason to question that choice.

Then an unexpected event changed his routine. His car was damaged in an accident, leaving him without the transport he had always relied on.

Faced with the need to find an alternative, Luděk decided to try Anytime, a carsharing company in MK Global Kapital’s portfolio.

Finding flexibility in an unexpected situation

Losing access to a personal vehicle can quickly complicate everyday plans, particularly for someone accustomed to travelling independently.

For Luděk, the challenge was finding a practical way to continue his daily activities without having to depend entirely on other forms of transport.

Carsharing offered an alternative he had previously overlooked. Instead of waiting until his own vehicle was available again, he could use a shared car when needed.

What began as a response to an unexpected inconvenience gradually became part of his everyday routine.

A simpler experience than expected

One of the aspects Luděk appreciated most was how straightforward it was to get started.

He found the registration process surprisingly quick and discovered that vehicles were generally available relatively close to his apartment.

This convenience made a difference. Being able to locate a car nearby and use it according to his needs helped him maintain the flexibility he had associated with owning a vehicle.

The experience also challenged his previous assumptions about shared mobility. What initially seemed like a temporary solution proved useful beyond the immediate circumstances that had led him to try it.

Independence beyond ownership

Luděk’s experience highlights how an unexpected change can introduce new ways of thinking about familiar habits.

Before the accident, he associated personal mobility primarily with car ownership. Through carsharing, he discovered that access to a vehicle could also provide the freedom to organise his daily movements.

For him, the value of Anytime was not simply having another means of transport. It was the ability to continue moving independently when his usual option was no longer available.

His story offers a practical example of how services provided by a company within MK Global Kapital’s portfolio can respond to individual mobility needs.

Sometimes, a different perspective begins with an experience we never planned for.
