Car Sharing

The car sharing is a mobility service that allows you to rent a car for short periods without having to own it, and it represents a practical, sustainable, and economical solution to reduce transportation costs and promote more responsible mobility.  

The operation is simple: after registering with a provider, usually through an app, the user can quickly locate and book an available vehicle nearby thanks to geo-location. To access the car, you do not need a traditional key, as the opening is done via the app or a digital key, and once the use is finished, you just need to park the vehicle in a designated area and complete the rental through the same application. Car sharing frees the user from burdens such as purchase, maintenance, and insurance, as these costs are borne by the service provider company. 

Choosing this form of mobility has several advantages:

• Reduces traffic and the resulting congestion on the roads. 

• Reduces CO₂ emissions and air pollution. 

• Avoids fixed expenses, allows for cost sharing, and promotes more sustainable behaviors. 

• Facilitates complex movements, especially when integrated with public transport, increasing flexibility and convenience. 

In terms of optimization, the efficient use of resources ensures an adequate presence of vehicles where and when they are needed, while sharing usage costs among multiple users makes them more accessible. This approach also encourages a more responsible use of cars, contributing to a better balance between individual mobility needs and the protection of the environment and the community.
