Excerpt: Zipcar is a membership-based car sharing company providing automobile reservations to its members, billable by the hour or day. Zipcar was founded in 2000 by Cambridge, Massachusetts residents Antje Danielson and Robin Chase, and is now led by Scott Griffith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As of December 2010, the company offers a fleet of over 8,000 vehicles in urban areas throughout 28 North American states and provinces, as well as in the United Kingdom, and has over 560,000 members which the company refers to as "Zipsters."

Reservations can be made minutes up to a year in advance. Zipcar members have automated access to Zipcars using an access card called a "Zipcard," which works with the car's technology to unlock the door, where the keys are already located inside. Zipcar also offers an iPhone application, recognized by Time magazine as one of the "Best Travel Gadgets of 2009," that allows members to honk the horn to locate a Zipcar and unlock the doors.

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 7.8, University of Amsterdam, course: Business Administration, language: English, abstract: This paper will attempt to answer the following question: "How has Turo's peer-topeer car sharing platform effectively contributed to the sharing economy by putting underutilized vehicles to better use?." The answer to this question will make it clear whether Turo's platform positively contributes to the sharing economy. A literature review will be used to answer this question, which consists of academic articles on peer-to-peer platforms, car sharing and Turo's activity in multiple markets. This material is reinforced with data, analytics and reviews from the platform. Turo, a peer-to-peer platform, enables its users to rent the exact car that is advertised and costing 35% less than traditional agency prices on average. On the other side, it allows car owners to rent out their under-utilized car on the platform. Founded in 2009 in San Francisco, California - Turo has since become active in more than 4500 cities spread across 3 countries and now employs 110 people. The providers on the platform also cover over 300 airports, providing a solid alternative for regular rental car agencies. Armed with its mission "to put the world's one billion cars to better use," the firm generates revenue with every car rental booked through the platform. Even though Turo has not yet reached profitability, it has raised more than $172m in venture capital and acquired two firms to expand its operations internationally. Turo was also named amongst Uber and WeWork in the Forbes 15 hottest on-demand startups of 2015.

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: Car sharing in 2021 is no longer a new invention, but rather part of the social shift toward a sustainable world. It is the breaking down of old values of owning a car as a status symbol. Thus, car sharing (CS) has its origins in 1997, when the cooperatives ATG AutoTeilet Genossenschaft and ShareCom merged to form the swiss Mobility Genossenschaft, bringing together the first thoughts on car sharing. The intention was to make it possible for all people to use a car, especially those who cannot bear the high costs of purchasing and maintaining one. Now, a lot has happened in the project for over 20 years, with the last 10 years in particular bringing a great surge in development. Digitization and the progress of technologies have managed to generate a wide reach and market the sharing model as a worthwhile business model. Worthwhile for companies and users alike, who can now reserve and use a car close to them with little money and pay for it for a leisure trip, a trip to the supermarket or a commute to work only as long as it is in use. The automotive industry, meanwhile, is delighted about the growing middle class, which nowadays can afford its own car without major restrictions and also wants to. Cars mean the greatest possible mobility, freedom for people. Although this is a basic human need, awareness of sustainability and climate protection has increased. As a result, the automotive industry is currently under unprecedented pressure to transform its technologies to electric drives and to decide on its own market position in a future-oriented manner, to be a mobility service provider or a pure vehicle manufacturer. At the present time, CS is largely offered by companies that mediate supply and demand and thus connect users with automobiles. BMW and Daimler, which have been mobility service providers and CS suppliers for several years, can be named as an exception here. However, since several people now share a car, it is reasonable to assume that the sales of automotive suppliers will decline - provided that CS continues to gain acceptance and experiences exponential growth in the following years. What exactly CS is and if, respectively which effects the automotive industry will experience due to CS, will be examined in more detail in this thesis.

Embark on a heart-warming romantic journey in this delightful comedy that proves it doesn't matter where you're going-it's who you have beside you on the way . . . After Lia's old car breathes its last, the single mum must reluctantly take the bus to work . . . and face unwarranted attention from a troublesome teenager. It's all too much to take-she's been depressed since her fiancé's death and even quit her beloved women's football team. But it's Happy Car Sharers to the rescue after her friends get her set up on the app. Mateo, meanwhile, has recently moved to town, and his long walk to the train station is a literal pain due to an ankle injury. Soon he and Lia are riding each morning with a charmingly bossy driver and a rotation of colorful fellow passengers. It's not love at first sight. Technically it's not even first sight: they've seen each other before at the nursing home where both their fathers live and Mateo plays piano for the residents. But with each trip they get to know each other better . . . and the more they know, the more they find to like. With both of them consumed by personal losses and pressing family responsibilities-and another man getting in the way-can romance lie on the road ahead for these commuting companions? The Car Share is a humorous exploration of love, loss, and the unexpected detours that lead us to where we truly belong. Praise for Lucy Mitchell "[Mitchell's] writing is deliciously funny and has so much heart." -Sandy Barker, author of One Summer in Santorini

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Computer Sciences - Cryptocurrency, grade: 1,3, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), language: English, abstract: This paper explores whether Blockchain could be a key technology on the way to private car rental. After the problem statement and the situation assessment, there is an in- troduction to the blockchain itself and specifically. After that, the recommendations – for im- proving car sharing nowadays with private car rental over the blockchain – will be discussed with a view to the implementation and the solved problem. In the end, we will have a look into the near future and at the next steps that need to be done for the realization of the idea. In the current climate crisis, the target in the western world is to reduce the amount of fossil energy and raw materials. Every less produced car is, therefore, a step in the right direction to a more sustainable future. According to the Federal Environment Agency of Germany, one car-sharing car could replace four to ten private cars. Today's carsharing vehicles are newer on average and therefore have lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions than the average private car. In addition, car-sharing users often combine car-sharing journeys with public transport, so that utilization there increases and no additional fuel is consumed. Be- sides that, they also use bicycles more often or go by foot, instead of driving a car. In the future, the streets should be used less, the more car-sharing users there are, and the emission- neutral traffic routes such as cycle paths will have better utilization. Besides these positive aspects, car sharing today has many issues to deal with. Low customer numbers and problems with profitability come together with availability only in the city center and a not completely satisfying service. For solving these problems private car rental over blockchain could be an alternative.
