Peer-to-peer carsharing

This article is about owners sharing cars to other drivers. For passengers hiring vehicles with drivers, see vehicle for hire.

Peer-to-peer carsharing (also known as peer-to-peer car rental or person-to-person carsharing) is the process whereby vehicle owners make their personal cars available for others to rent for short periods. It is a form of collaborative consumption within the sharing economy, distinct from traditional car rental and fleet-based carsharing (such as Zipcar and GoGet) because the vehicle fleet is decentralized and owned by individuals rather than a single company.
