GENERAL INFORMATION
BENEFITS
Convenient - a car when you need one; some programs have various
models to suit your changing needs. Some motorists also use carshare as
a 'second car'.
Practical - reduces number of cars in the city. Reduces car usage of
individuals by as much as 50%.
Environmental - improves air quality. Each car share vehicle replaces
4 to 8 privately held cars.
Low cost - pay only for the hours you drive; a fraction of the cost of
owning a car; is cheaper than owning a car if you need a car for fewer than
7500 miles(12,000 km)/year.
Carefree - no maintenance; no servicing; no parking hassles; no
cleaning because the company provides them for you.
