Carsharing for Your Business

Meet the new company car.

More on how carsharing can work for your business:

• Fleet Car Savings - Austin Carshare can replace your fleet cars that are driven 10,000 miles or less at real savings to your organization. Instead of worrying about maintenance and gas prices or being burdened with the cost of little used vehicles, you can have carshare vehicles on-site for your on-demand needs. You only pay for the time you use the car.
  
  Recently, the City of Philadelphia replaced over 300 non-emergency fleet vehicles at an annual savings of $2 million. Sell your fleet cars and start saving today!
  
• Simplify Client Billing - Businesses are allowed to track and account for carshare travel by job codes with monthly, itemized statements. In addition to cost savings from carsharing, this streamlines client billing without having to track down and reimburse employees for using personal vehicles.
• Employee Perks - Companies like Starbucks and Nike have used carsharing as a benefit for employees while promoting alternative commuting solutions. Carsharing provides an “errand-car” perk for employees that use mass transit, or need occasional access to a carshare pick-up truck.
• Carsharing to Attract Potential Residents - In an increasingly competitive market, apartment and condominium building owners can use carsharing as a service to differentiate themselves from competitors in attracting new residents. Carsharing also offers costs savings for companies that are looking at developing in the West Campus area in the form of lower parking space requirements. The City of Austin offers an exception of 40% of the standard parking requirement for developments in the University Neighborhood Overlay for projects that include carsharing. With estimated building, property tax, and financing costs running in the tens of thousands for each space, Austin Carshare can help make your project budget easier to finance while partnering to bring this unique service to Austin.
• Clean, Reliable Cars for Meeting with Clients - When you need the right car to make the right impression, Austin Carshare offers a network of clean, reliable cars for meeting with clients. There is no longer a need to worry about a reliable personal car or pay expensive daylong rental car rates.
