Journify, the Valencian ‘app’ for daily car sharing, conquers universities and companies

Sharing a car with a stranger is already a standard situation for many drivers and travellers, who have become accustomed to saving costs on their journeys through the movement known as carpooling.

Their first target customer was the university, where thousands of students come daily to the centres by car and could save more than 1,000 euros a year if they shared their vehicle with other people going to the same destination. “Journify is born out of necessity.
