Getting around Valencia
Getting around Valencia by car costs far more than the fuel: you also pay insurance, servicing, the roadworthiness test, road tax, parking and depreciation. The calculator below adds it all up using today's real fuel price and compares it with a public transport pass and with Clover Solo, from 69 € a month.
Fuel prices live from Spain's Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. Cycling network figures from the Ajuntament de València cycling guide, published 02/12/2020.
Adjust the figures to your own situation. Fuel is calculated using the real average price in Valencia province today.
Fuel prices are the real average across filling stations in Valencia province, published by Spain's Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. The other figures are indicative defaults within the usual ranges in Spain, and you can adjust every one of them. The public transport pass varies by zone and ticket type, which is why it is editable. The Clover row uses the Solo plan on a 12-month commitment, the monthly e-bike rental in Valencia we take as the reference.
