What is Carsharing?What is Carsharing?

car‐sharing (carsharing)Definition:A short‐term car use arrangement ‐ a car use service whereby

t h i b fcustomers who sign up as members can reserve a car forperiods of time for an hourly fee, can pick up the car at adesignated place in the community and then return the car todesignated place in the community, and then return the car tothe same location.
