What is carsharing?

Carsharing is a membership based service that provides flexible transportation solutions for individuals, families, and companies. Members receive an access key and and online account that allows them to book a vehicle, where they want it, when they want it. We are a two-way carsharing service which means that users bring the car back to the same locations when they are done with their booking.

What is included?

Vehicle access – Choose between cars, trucks, vans, hybrids and electrics
Gas – We cover the cost of gas and if you fill up at Red River Co-op, you can use our corporate gas card
Insurance – We cover the cost of insurance. Choose from our basic insurance, CLDI, or our in house damage pool coverage. Learn more
Cleaning – We clean all of our cars on a regular basis. Got a car real dirty while using it? No problem, wash the car, leave a receipt, and we will reimburse you.

How do I know if it’s the right fit for me?

You primarily get around by walking, biking or transit but would sometimes like the convenience of access to a car for trips around the city. You want the convenience of access to a second car without the added cost. You don’t own or are thinking of selling your car. You are paying a lot for parking or your building doesn’t provide parking.

How does carsharing work?

Think of it as a library book that you borrow and then return. Co-op vehicles are always found in the same designated parking spot. Members make their bookings online. They head over to the area where they reserved a car, and then drive it as if it were their very own. Before the booking time expires, the car is returned to the same designated parking spot.
