Community Car Clubs

Co-Wheels Offers Widespread Auto Sharing in the United Kingdom

It seems as though the sharing economy relies on auto sharing particularly in order to drive the idea down to larger populations and Co-Wheels, a community car club available across the United Kingdom, is one example of that.

"A simple hourly and mileage charge covers fuel, tax, maintenance and comprehensive insurance - so all you do is the driving," they write on their website. "Cars are parked in designated parking bays and can be booked in advance or last minute either on-line or over the phone."

More and more, with the emergence of the established collaborative consumption movement, it's seeming like owning a care just isn't the way to go. But when other actors like government and auto industries catch on?
