car-sharing
Communal automobile access
Car-sharing is a system where people share access to vehicles rather than owning them individually.
Members reserve cars as needed, typically by the hour, from a fleet distributed across a city: Car-sharing has reduced my transportation costs significantly.
The term also applies to informal arrangements where neighbors or coworkers share a privately owned vehicle.
