What is car sharing?

In general terms, car sharing is a per-minute rental of vehicles for personal purposes. At the same time, unlike a taxi, car sharing gives the right to control the client himself.

How does car sharing work?

Opening and closing the machine is only possible using the app. If you want to start a trip, you must press the appropriate button, then the service will give you time to inspect the cabin. You are obliged to monitor the condition of the car, as well as the availability of the necessary travel documents.

In the process, do not forget to control the fuel level, because the system assumes that you decide this issue. The refueling system is quite simple: you drive into a gas station, take a fuel card from the glove compartment, and enter the pin code indicated on the card in the terminal. Take a photo of the receipt when paying. The company will compensate you for refueling with time.

At the end of the trip, you turn off the engine and headlights, and also tighten the handbrake. In this case, you can get out of the car and click the "End lease" button. You will receive a notification about the trip: mileage and bill.

You determine the time of using the car yourself. It can be both short term rentals and weekly rentals. You link your account to your bank card, so the trip will be charged automatically. Once you have reached your destination, you can leave your car in the nearest parking lot where the next customer can use it.
