Car Sharing
Sometimes you just need a car and when you do, car sharing is a great option. Car sharing is a system of shared access to vehicles parked in your community or at transit stations. Users can pick up a clean, maintained automobile with a full tank of gas and drive it for as long as needed; only paying for what they use. Membership with a car-sharing service includes gas, maintenance, insurance, and parking. Membership fees vary based on the plan you choose.
Car Sharing for businesses
Many organizations offer car sharing as an added employee benefit or as a way to pay for transportation to and from meetings. Car sharing can save your company money by reducing the amount spent on travel expenses like car rentals and fleet maintenance.
