A responsible public in a unique location
The carpooling solution for cultural organizations
Our aim is to offer cultural structures (festivals, concert halls, touring seasons, etc.) and their audiences a solution adapted to their carpooling needs.
For an ever-greener cultural sector, choose Festicar!
For our planet <3
Our main ambition is to facilitate the eco-responsible commitment of the festival sector.
More than 2/3 of the carbon emissions calculated by festivals come from audience attendance*.
From 2023 onwards, the French Regions and Ministry of Culture will make their subsidies conditional on festivals' eco-responsibility, in order to accelerate the sector's transition*.

Why Festicar?
Festicar's market, at the intersection of car sharing and cultural organisations, is extremely promising for several reasons. Festicar's solution responds to increasingly pressing ecological, economic and social issues that are generating growing interest among consumers, businesses and public authorities.
Ecological challenges
Festivals generate a considerable carbon footprint, largely due to individual travel by festival-goers. In France, transport accounts for over 70% of the CO2 emissions of a typical music event. Organisations, under pressure from social expectations and regulations, are actively seeking to become greener.
Support for public initiatives
In 2023, the French Ministry of Culture has made certain subsidies conditional on an effort to promote ecological transition. It is also a priority for local authorities, which are increasingly inclined to support events that minimise their environmental impact.
Economic Challenges
Growth in the shared mobility market
For the public, car-sharing is a cost-effective way of getting to events, particularly in the face of rising energy and public transport costs.
Cost optimisation for organisers
Fewer cars mean less need for parking infrastructure and easier management of visitor flows, which can reduce organisational costs.
By offering sustainable transport solutions, cultural organisations can attract sponsors and partners interested in green initiatives.
Social Challenges
Accessibilité accrue aux lieux de culture
Festicar rend les festivals et autres lieux culturels plus accessibles pour ceux qui n'ont pas de véhicule personnel ou qui habitent loin des transports en commun. En facilitant le covoiturage, la plateforme permet à un plus grand nombre de personnes, y compris celles vivant dans des zones rurales ou mal desservies, de participer à des événements culturels.
Strengthening the community
Festicar helps to create a community of spectators who share not only a journey, but also common experiences and interests. This social dimension enriches the festival/event experience, and promoting shared values such as sustainability and environmental responsibility can further unite audiences.
