Hi, and welcome to your ZumbaCar. Thanks for choosing the number one freemium car share service in [your city]!

Where can we take you today?

Great choice. Your selected journey will take about 25 minutes. Please buckle up, sit back, relax and enjoy the ads. This commute is brought to you by NetflixPfizer – now you can really "Netflix and chill" with all-organic THC supplements – newly available in extra strength.

Uh oh, looks like there's a traffic jam ahead. Rerouting. New estimated journey time is 32 minutes.

Remember, premium users don't have to watch ads. Enjoy premium now for $99 a month and get your first month free.

Just a suggestion, but we noticed you like going to Chipotle around midnight sometimes. Why don't we swing by on the way to work and you could try its new breakfast selection? It's offering you 15-per-cent off if you stop by now.

Checking notifications: Nest Food Box says you're out of coffee pods and running low on hummus. Nest Home Security says you forgot to lock the door again, but it's taking care of it. Nest Finance says your mortgage payment is overdue. And your calendar says you have dinner with friends tonight at TBD. No new Tinders.

Did you know ZumbaCar can autonomously pickup your groceries for you? Order online now and everything will be in the car for your next ride. Say "Shop Now" to begin shopping; hummus is on sale at Superstore.

Arriving at destination in 10 minutes. Want to listen to Spotify for the rest of the journey? For $2.99, turn the ads off now and listen to hundreds of streaming playlists, or continue where you left off in the podcast This American Life Coach.

Refer a friend to ZumbaCar and get 10-per-cent off Premium.

Starbucks notification: Your no-whip peppermint soy latte is ready at pickup window 6. Rerouting.

Want a more luxurious commute? ZumbaCar Premium has partnered with Tesla-Daimler so you can arrive in style. Order any one of Tesla-Daimler's fleet of autonomous luxury vehicles to your door – guaranteed to arrive in 15 minutes or less – and enjoy an 8k IMAX screen, concierge service and the latest Angry Birds in Oculus Virtual Reality, all from the comfort of a first-class lounge cabin.

We noticed you've been Googling road trips lately. Going on a road trip? Consider a Mercedes Classic, for the ultimate nostalgic self-driving getaway. Throughout February, get the first 40 kilometres free. The new Mercedes Classic SL convertible, with 600 ground-pounding hybrid horsepower, is now available.

Arriving at destination in one minute.

This journey used 4 per cent of the car's battery power. A carbon-use surcharge of $2 will be added to your monthly bill.

Thank you for choosing ZumbaCar! Dance the ride away! We hope you enjoyed another free ad-supported commute, brought to you by NetflixPfizer. It was a pleasure having you on board. Please remember to take all your belongings, rate and like us on Snapchat.
