car sharing
Shared automotive access
Car sharing is a system where multiple users access a fleet of vehicles on demand, typically paying by the hour or mile rather than owning a car outright.
Members reserve vehicles through an app, pick them up from designated locations, and return them when finished.
The term covers both commercial services and informal arrangements among neighbors or coworkers: We use car sharing instead of owning a second vehicle.
