Global: revenue of car sharing 2017-2025, by country

* No Data available for 2017

When it comes to car sharing, vehicles are usually owned by car sharing service providers and booked independently by customers at any time. Customers need to enter into a contract with the car sharing service provider in order to be able to book vehicles via a smartphone app, the website of the service provider, or by telephone. The vehicle is usually opened via smartphone or a chip card. Some service providers, however, provide the car key in a key safe at the car sharing station. Prices are calculated per minute or hour, with the money being debited from the customer's bank account.

There are two types of car sharing: station-based (e.g., Cambio or EVCARD) and free-floating car sharing (e.g., Share Now, Sixt share or Enjoy). Station-based car sharing enables customers to pick up a car at a car sharing station and bring it back to either the same station or a different car sharing station. Peer-to-peer car sharing is not included in this segment (Out-of-scope).
