Car sharing gives you the freedom to have a car available on an as-needed basis where you live or work. Service companies provide the vehicles at strategically located places for you to rent, usually within walking distance of major commuting areas. The hourly/daily rate typically includes gas, insurance, parking and unlimited mileage. Why car share?
You reduce emissions and ease congestion. Each car-share vehicle can replace up to 15 cars on the road*.
If you use an alternative commute mode to work (carpool, vanpool, bike, walk or transit) to travel or don't own a car -- then car sharing is for you. You can also use it for unexpected appointments or running errands.
Save wear and costs on operating your vehicle by reducing how often you need to drive it. This could extend the life of your car while saving you money.
If car sharing enables you to use a commute alternative, you can earn cash and win prizes .
