Uhaul Car Share

UhaulCarShare (formerly "UCarShare") is a for-profit carsharing service offered by U-Haul in nearly 40 cities in the United States. Those with a Uhaul Car Share membership may have use of a car, billable by the hour or by the day. However, use is generally limited to three days at a time. Most often, Uhaul Car Share vehicles are operated in communities with colleges and/or universities nearby. "The goal of [Uhaul] Car Share is to give people an alternative to owning second and third cars, and to increase the use of public transit."

Uhaul Car Share's primary competitor is Zipcar (which, since 2007, includes the former Flexcar).

Carsharing

Carsharing or car sharing (US) or car clubs (UK) is a model of car rental where people rent cars for short periods of time, often by the hour. They are attractive to customers who make only occasional use of a vehicle, as well as others who would like occasional access to a vehicle of a different type than they use day-to-day. The organization renting the cars may be a commercial business or the users may be organized as a company, public agency, cooperative, or ad hoc grouping.

Carsharing services are available in over a thousand cities in many nations. Services include Autolib', City Car Club, JustRide GoGet, Greenwheels, JustShareIt, Stadtmobil, GoCar, Zoom, OpenFleet, and Zipcar. Traditional car rental companies have introduced their own car sharing services, including Hertz on Demand, Enterprise CarShare by Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Avis On Location by Avis, and Uhaul Car Share by U-Haul. Notable co-operatively owned carsharing organizations include Modo (car co-op) and Community CarShare. Co-Wheels uses a UK community interest company model which it franchises to local groups. In addition, car manufacturers have also introduced their own carsharing services, including Daimler's Car2Go, BMW's DriveNow, Volkswagen's Quicar.
