Jool

Jool is a French car-rental brand built around a 100% electric, shared-mobility model. Rather than operating traditional rental counters, Jool delivers the chosen vehicle to the customer's address, lets the customer unlock and control the car through a mobile app, and allows the car to be returned without refuelling or recharging to full. The company positions itself as "the first 100% electric and shared car-rental service," aiming to shift mobility from individual combustion cars toward shared electric vehicles. The fleet is composed of well-known battery-electric models. On its homepage Jool lists the Tesla Model Y (including a "Juniper" version), the Tesla Model 3 (including a "Highland" version), and the Mégane E-Tech, with advertised ranges such as 534 km, 572 km, 491 km, 533 km and 450 km and starting daily prices ranging from about €50 to €75 per day. The service is marketed on convenience and cost: home delivery, no fuel costs (the company says users save on average €50 of fuel per rental), keyless app-based opening, free cancellation up to 72 hours before the rental, and the ability to extend a rental in a few taps. Jool's stated mission is to rethink mobility, moving from individual thermal cars to shared electric ones. It argues that automobiles generate 15% of greenhouse-gas emissions each year and that electrification plus sharing is the most effective way to cut that impact without giving up the freedom to explore. The brand is aimed at customers who want a simple, app-first electric rental experience rather than a conventional agency visit. According to its "About" page, Jool was co-founded by Thomas Ceccaldi, who serves as CEO, and Vincent Farines, who serves as CFO. Ceccaldi is described as an automotive expert and enthusiast who previously founded France's first premium car-rental marketplace and worked in digital communication agencies on campaigns for major carmakers; he launched Jool in 2024 to reduce transport's environmental impact. Farines brings entrepreneurship and corporate-finance experience. The company is a private French startup and, as of the available evidence, operates in France.

Jool is a French electric car-rental brand. According to its "About" page, it was co-founded by Thomas Ceccaldi and Vincent Farines, with Ceccaldi serving as CEO and Farines as CFO. Ceccaldi is described as an automotive expert and enthusiast who had previously founded France's first premium car-rental marketplace and had held key roles in digital communication agencies, working on campaigns for major car manufacturers. In 2024 he decided to apply his industry expertise to developing Jool in order to reduce transport's environmental impact. Farines is described as combining solid experience in entrepreneurship and corporate finance. The brand was built around a specific thesis: that the car of tomorrow will be electric, but above all shared. Jool states that automobiles generate 15% of greenhouse-gas emissions each year and argues that electrification (a technological turn) plus sharing (a societal turn) is the most effective way to reduce that impact without giving up the pleasure of exploring. It therefore presents itself as the first 100% electric and shared car-rental service. Operationally, Jool replaced the traditional rental agency with a delivery-and-app model. The selected car is delivered to the address of the customer's choice; the customer opens and controls the car from the Jool mobile app; the car can be returned with 10% battery remaining without extra fees; and rentals can be cancelled free of charge up to 72 hours before the start. The app also offers a trip planner, geolocation, multi-driver access, passenger invitations, rental extension and customised cabin settings. Jool's fleet consists of battery-electric models. Its homepage advertises the Tesla Model Y (including a "Juniper" version), the Tesla Model 3 (including a "Highland" version) and the Mégane E-Tech, with advertised ranges of 534 km, 572 km, 491 km, 533 km and 450 km respectively and starting prices from roughly €50 to €75 per day. The company highlights fuel savings of about €50 per rental on average for its users. The available evidence does not specify Jool's headquarters city, exact founding date, funding, ownership structure or any expansion beyond France. It is a private French startup operating in the electric car-rental segment.
