The Day My Car Traveled Without Me… and Helped More Than Expected
My name is Taha.
With my cousin Daoud, we spent years in the world of vehicle transport — moving cars for rental agencies, garages and individuals.
We saw:
→ empty return trips,
→ strict deadlines,
→ wasted time and energy.
And then one day, a simple personal hassle changed everything.
✈️ The vacation departure that changed everything
I was leaving on holiday with my family.
Evening flight, tired daughter, luggage ready… but one issue:
➡️ Long-term parking? Too expensive
➡️ Airport street parking? Prohibited
I needed a solution.
So I called Daoud. He said:
“A friend of mine is landing tonight and heading to La Valentine. He can help.”
Perfect.
🔑 The key handover… and the unexpected
We meet at the terminal. I hand him the keys:
“Didn’t have time to refuel. Add some if needed — I’ll refund you.”
As I board the plane, he hits the road.
On the way out, in the rain, he spots a stranded couple:
— “Where are you heading?”
— “Saint-Loup.”
— “Perfect, I’m passing by.”
They talk, and at the end, the couple gives him 50 euros.
Enough for fuel… and to help them.
💡 The realisation
When I returned, he told me the story.
And we both realised:
- What if this coincidence became a habit?
- What if vehicles could be moved by people already making the trip?
- What if every journey became a shared opportunity?
That’s how co-driving was born.
🌱 A new kind of collaborative car-sharing
A model that is:
- smarter,
- greener,
- more human.
With CoCarmoov, we turned that spark into a collaborative platform:
— connecting drivers, vehicles… and the planet
— useful for professionals, individuals… and the future.
And it all began
the day my car traveled without me.
