The market momentum continues to build for DriveItAway Holdings in its collaboration with Free2move, the global mobility brand of Stellantis, to launch Free2move Powered by DriveItAway, a national initiative that aims to “transform dealerships into next-generation mobility hubs.”

Before the end of January, DriveItAway announced the launch of operations in eight additional major U.S. markets, bringing its national footprint to 21 active metropolitan regions in just over 12 months.

DriveItAway’s flexible lease/subscription service, designed to remove traditional barriers such as down payments, minimum credit thresholds, and long-term contractual lock-ins, will launch in the following markets:

—Dallas
—Houston
—San Antonio
—Austin, Texas
—Phoenix
—Nashville, Tenn.
—Seattle
—Portland, Ore.

This rollout leverages an industrial-scale SaaS infrastructure, automating the friction between dealer inventory feeds and consumer demand for immediate vehicle access.

The offering is supported by DriveItAway’s proprietary architecture, telematics-driven risk management, and dealer-integrated operating platform, allowing customers to access transportation immediately while building structured pathways toward ownership.

DriveItAway founder and CEO John Possumato called the January expansion not merely a geographic milestone; rather “definitive proof” of standardized unit economics being replicated across diverse U.S. markets.

“We are not building a pilot program, we are building national mobility infrastructure,” Possumato said in a news release. “This expansion reflects a deliberate strategy to scale a platform business, not a regional product. Transportation affordability, access to credit, and consumer mobility flexibility are now structural market problems and require national-scale solutions.

“With Free2move and our growing network of franchised dealers, DriveItAway is executing a coast-to-coast rollout that positions us as the category leader in flexible lease and subscription-to-ownership mobility,” Possumato continued.

“We are in the early innings of a new vehicle access model. Our focus is disciplined growth, platform economics, and infrastructure scale, the foundation required to build a durable, institutional-grade company. The roadmap toward building a NASDAQ-tier platform in 2026 has begun,” he went on to say. “We are moving beyond pilot programs into a permanent national mobility infrastructure, establishing Free2move Powered by DriveItAway as the category leader in flexible ownership solutions. As we execute our strategic roadmap toward a NASDAQ-tier platform in 2026, these 21 active markets serve as the critical mass required for institutional-grade valuation.”

This expansion follows the company’s December rollout of nine new cities and is driven by the accelerating national deployment of its co-branded mobility platform, Free2move Powered by DriveItAway, developed in partnership with Free2move — the global mobility subsidiary of Stellantis. The partnership provides industrial-scale infrastructure, dealer integration, fleet alignment, and operational leverage, enabling rapid, disciplined national growth.

DriveItAway expects continued expansion into additional U.S. markets throughout 2026, driven by dealer participation, regional demand, and the accelerating adoption of flexible mobility models.

Further market launches, platform milestones, and performance updates will be announced as the national rollout progresses, according to the company.

Benjamin Maillard is managing director of Free2move North America.

“Free2move was created to deliver flexible mobility solutions beyond conventional vehicle ownership and leasing,” Maillard said in the news release.

“The rapid expansion of Free2move Powered by DriveItAway into 21 major markets reflects a structural shift in consumer demand and a standardization of the dealer-led mobility model,” he continued. “This platform is now a national infrastructure, providing our partners with a high-yield, Saas-driven revenue channel. This is only the beginning of our roadmap to redefine transportation across North America.”
