Car sharing is a transportation model that allows individuals to rent vehicles for short periods, typically by the hour or day. This service is designed to provide an alternative to car ownership, making it easier for people to access a vehicle when needed without the costs associated with owning one, such as maintenance, insurance, and parking. Users can reserve a car through a mobile app or website, pick it up from a designated location, and return it after use. Car sharing programs often include a variety of vehicle types, catering to different needs, from compact cars for city driving to larger vehicles for group outings.
