carshare

Communal auto service

Carshare refers to a service or arrangement where multiple people share access to vehicles rather than owning them individually.

Members typically reserve cars by the hour or day through an app or website: I carshare to avoid the costs of owning a car in the city.

The verb means to participate in such a program.

Also spelled car-share or car share.
