And the Survey Says...


Here are some of the results from our first five years on the road:

95% of member trip requests are fulfilled

25% of new members chose to join AutoShare instead of buying a car

15% of new members were so sure AutoShare would work that they sold their cars when they joined AutoShare

$1,000 — average amount members spent on car sharing in 2002

$4,700 — average amount our members saved over the cost of owning a car in 2003 (based on CAA research)

Wow! AutoShare works for over 2,500 members. Is it right for me?

Say no more. I’m ready to join.
