ZITY is expanding its service area to San Sebastián de los Reyes and Coslada, and it is coming to new neighborhoods in the city of Madrid like Tres Olivos and Puerta del Ángel, in order to meet the needs of its over 220,000 users.
New ZITY Zone
In Coslada, the service area will include new parking reserved for carsharing. A total of 18 parking places: 6 spots around the city hall (c/ Doctor Michavila) and 12 spots in the Puerto neighborhood (around the El Olivo stadium), designated with vertical and horizontal signage.
In San Sebastián de los Reyes, the ZITY Zone will join the ZITY coverage area in Alcobendas, including an area of influence that is over 4 km² in San Sebastián de los Reyes for beginning and ending service in their free floating mode. The new ZITY Zone will provide service on the Paseo de Europa to the Hospital Infanta Sofía, the old city center, and main avenues like Luxemburgo, Reyes Católicos, and Portugal. In addition, there will be a total of 12 parking places reserved for carsharing: 4 next to the hospital, 3 at the intersection of c/ Real and c/ Álvaro Muñoz, and 5 at the municipal sports center Dehesa.
In Madrid, the ZITY Zone has been readjusted to offer its users greater vehicle availability in high-demand zones, versus the ones where usage was low. Now, the zone will expand to the neighborhood of Vallecas, reaching av. de la Albufera, and the neighborhood of Moratalaz, going to the Vinateros area to make parking easier for users. The ZITY Zone will be redrawn in the neighborhoods of Moratalaz, Hortaleza, Mirasierra, Puerta de Hierro, and Ciudad Universitaria.

New Fares
The Standard fare as well as the STAND BY fare will be the same price, €0.26/min and €0.09/min, respectively, which are currently the least expensive per-minute fares in the city of Madrid for carsharing in the Renault ZOE’s category.
The flat rates for 4h, 8h, and 24h have been updated to €29, €49, and €69. The ZITY app automatically applies the best rates for the user, offering them maximum savings on any rental. Besides, Savings Packages are available on the website (zitycar.es), and the savings on those deals offer up to 30% off.

Lastly, a maximum of €1 is charged for each rental starting or ending outside of the M-40, with no limits on the number of kilometers traveled.
Dynamic Deductibles
A dynamic deductible has been added which will give all good drivers fully comprehensive liability insurance policies for €0.
After analyzing accident data and seeing that more than 40% of accidents were caused by young drivers under the age of 26, two maximum and minimum deductibles were set up based on the driver’s age.
- Drivers 26 or older.
- Minumum Fee €0
- Maximum Fee €300
- €5 discount on the deductible for every rental over €3
- Drivers under 26
- Minumum Fee €0
- Maximum Fee €600
- €5 discount on the deductible for every rental over €3
Examples:
A 38-year-old driver who has completed 50 rentals with ZITY will have a deductible of €50 with the service [€300 deductible – 50 rentals x €5/rental= €50]
A 21-year-old driver who has completed 100 rentals with ZITY will have a deductible of €100 with the service [€600 deductible – 100 rentals x €5/rental= €100]
