Do you know your car budget? Offset it with Cocolis

17 April 2019

car budget

Do you know your monthly car budget? Chances are, you’re way off the mark.

According to a study by the Boston Consulting Group on mobility (May 2017), your car costs you an average of €400 per month. That’s much more than what the 3,000 people surveyed estimated.

The bad news? It goes up every year! The good news? We have a solution to help you offset this big expense.

Want to know? With parcel sharing on Cocolis, of course!

Your car costs you an average of €400

The analysis was based on 2 car models (Citroën C3 vs Peugeot 308) and on the average number of kilometres driven monthly by the French: 547 km.

While the study shows a difference of more than €150 between the two models, the average is still over €400 spent per month on your car.

This budget includes usage costs (fuel, parking, fines, etc.) and ownership costs (insurance, maintenance and repairs, depreciation, etc.).

Surprised?

Households greatly underestimate the cost of their car

While your car costs €400 a month, 95% of respondents estimate their expenses at €200, half the real amount.

It’s like moving house: you always underestimate the number of boxes or the time it’ll take to pack everything.

Is it just an optimistic mindset? 🤣
