This is exactly what it sounds like. A great way to save money and gas.
Carpooling and Carsharing
Join the growing number of Metro Vancouver residents choosing not to own a private vehicle. Research shows, the average car sits parked alone for 95% of the time. Why leave your car sitting idle when you could carshare and carpool and keep more of that money for yourself!
Carsharing
On Demand Access to Vehicles
Carsharing allows you to take transit, walk or cycle for some of your trips while giving you access to a fleet of vehicles, only when one is needed. Vehicles are available on demand without the ongoing charges and hassles of owning, maintaining and parking (in some cases).
Carshare vehicles are available by the minute, hour and day and are located throughout Metro Vancouver available in both "one-way drop off" and "return to a home location" services.
In select parts of Metro Vancouver, carshare vehicles can be parked free of charge in available “permit only” on-street parking spots in residential neighbourhoods. Please review the parking guidelines for each carshare provider when planning your trip.
Rapid Transit & Carsharing
There are numerous carshare vehicles located within walking distance of SkyTrain, Canada Line, Sea Bus and transit hubs throughout Metro Vancouver - providing transit users with further integrated mobility options.
Learn how car sharing works, how to sign up and where car sharing vehicles are located near you.
