This is a brief guide for those people that want to bring car sharing to their city.

It was designed to help them decide if they want to start their own co-op, non-profit or business; buy a franchise or start a branch office of an existing car sharing company; or perhaps simply help "plant-the-seed" in their community, so that others might become interested in taking on the venture.
