Car concierge in the French Alps: a guide for owners

A car concierge service in the French Alps takes on everything an owner would rather not deal with: finding renters, checking them, handing over the keys, cleaning, maintenance and paperwork. Corsiva runs this service from Chambéry, in Savoie, for owners of premium and luxury cars across the region, from Lyon to Annecy, Chamonix and Courchevel. This guide explains how it works, what you keep, where the car lives and which cities we cover.

In short

How a car concierge works

Corsiva takes premium and luxury cars belonging to private individuals or companies into its fleet and runs them as rental cars. Customers book; our team handles the rest:

• handovers and returns, with a digital contract;
• customer screening: driving licence, ID and proof of address checked, deposit taken as a card pre-authorisation;
• suitable insurance, with at-fault damage (repairs or the excess) charged to the renter;
• cleaning and preparation before every departure, with maintenance and consumables monitored;
• photo and video records before and after every use;
• visibility through our website, our social media and our partners in hospitality and events;
• an owner area that logs every rental and every payout, and a dedicated contact person.

More than 30 owners have already trusted us with their cars. Our team is on the ground in Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy and Lyon, and can be reached 7 days a week, from 9am to 6pm. We also negotiate discounts with our suppliers (garages, bodywork, wheels, detailing and cleaning); the terms are presented at the first meeting.

Why owners choose a concierge

A premium car often spends most of the year parked. A concierge lets it earn while you are away, without you having to vet strangers, meet them at a station or check the car after each rental. Our Google rating of 4.9/5 from more than 100 reviews, and over 7,000 followers on Instagram, come from that day-to-day work with renters. In return, you accept that the car is driven by others and covers more kilometres: our article on buying a car for rental management looks at wear and depreciation honestly.

The 70/30 split, and an example

You keep 70% of the rental income; the remaining 30% is Corsiva's management fee. To give an order of magnitude: a BMW M3 Competition, rented at €399 a day for around 35 days a year, generates about €14,000 in rental income over twelve months. That means about €9,800 for its owner, or around €817 a month on average.

Our income simulator runs the same calculation for your model and your availability. Thinking of buying a car specifically for this? Read how a dream car can cover part of its own costs.

Storage: at home or in our garages

Two options, the same guarantees.

• At your home. We collect the car and bring it back for each rental, with a photo and video record every time. Between rentals, it is yours to drive.
• In our garages in Chambéry. Your car joins our secure garages on rue Marguerite Sevez, where it is prepared and ready to go. You take it back whenever you ask.

For owners in the ski resorts, the logistics are agreed at the first meeting: the car kept in Chambéry, or transfers planned around your stays. Our article on Chamonix, Megève and Courchevel goes into the detail.

Self-drive or with a chauffeur

You decide how your car works. In self-drive mode, verified customers book it online, with 200 km a day included, and we deliver it to railway stations, ski resorts or their address. In chauffeur mode, a Corsiva driver in a suit takes the wheel: weddings, with the 5-hour and 8-hour packages of Corsiva Weddings, events, and transfers to Chambéry, Geneva and Lyon airports. You can also combine both. Our article on chauffeur-driven cars for film shoots, hotels and private jets shows the kind of work involved.

Getting started in four steps

1. An evaluation meetingAt your home: initial condition report, the car's history, your expectations and your limits.
2. Contract and settingsAvailable dates, blocked periods, income simulation, included services.
3. A photo shootProfessional photos of your car, in our garages or at your home.
4. Your car goes liveA dedicated contact person, and availability you can adjust at any time.

There is no commitment: you can pause or stop on simple notice, and take the wheel back whenever you like. Your identity is never shared with renters: the business relationship is handled entirely by Corsiva.
