As we mentioned, Car Sharing has become a new way of traveling and it is a new concept that is closely related to the collaborative economy and it consists of the temporary use of a vehicle that can be shared with other people. In this way, many companies offer their users the possibility of renting cars or other vehicles for limited periods of time, which can be hours, minutes, or even a day. This flexibility is one the main differences with traditional car rental.
The first advantage, and one of the most important, is the environmental sustainability that this type of service offers. That adds to the reality that the vast majority of companies are making electric vehicles available to users, thus promoting the use of sustainable vehicles in large cities.
Finally, we want to highlight the economic savings that the use of Car Sharing supposes. Not only because of its affordable cost, remember that the parking service is not counted since it is included in the price, and also, takes into account maintenance, repairs, or taxes.
Sustainable driving will be the future in many large cities as there is an increasing commitment by society to the planet and the care of it. Car Sharing, in addition to betting on optimal driving, also does so on sustainable driving since it replaces the concept that each person has their own vehicle, thus tripling the number of vehicles on the road. In this way, having services such as Car Sharing where the user can rent a vehicle at any time in a flexible way, not only companies will be adapting to the needs of users but unnecessary spending and CO2 emissions will be reduced.
Finally, we consider that it is important to highlight that just as the trend of Car Sharing has emerged, others such as Carpooling have also emerged, and these two concepts can generate confusion. Carpooling is a service in which the owner of a private vehicle makes his vehicle available to share it with other people and make a specific journey together. In this way, what Carpooling aims to do is connect people who have the same need to travel in order to share the vehicle and also the expenses of the journey.
