What is car-sharing?
It's the pooling of one or more vehicles used at different times by different people. Not to be confused with carpooling, which is the use of a vehicle by several people at the same time on the same journey.
The benefits
- Do without a car or a second vehicle in the household, while enjoying flexible travel options apart from walking, cycling, public transport and carpooling
- Financial savings (cost-sharing)
- Optimize car use and reduce parking: cars spend most of their time parked (at home or away from home), consuming space
Forms of car-sharing
In some cities, specialized companies offer car rental for 1 hour, a day or longer.
Private car-sharing also exists, either between acquaintances (friends, neighbors, etc.), by establishing operating rules and signing a contract, or between people who don't know each other via specialized websites.
