carsharing

Fleet access membership

Carsharing is a system where members access a fleet of vehicles on an as-needed basis, typically paying by the hour or mile rather than owning a car.

Users reserve vehicles through an app, pick them up from designated spots, and return them when done: Carsharing makes sense if you only need a car occasionally.

Also spelled car-sharing or car sharing.
