Compare with Zipcar

The great thing about AutoShare is that you can drive as much as you want, or as little, no matter what plan that you're on. And gas, insurance, parking and maintenance are all included. With three great plans to choose from, you'll be saving alot of money by using AutoShare when you need to drive.

 

How much will AutoShare cost you?

Your costs will depend on your driving, and the plan that you choose. Most of our members are on the Standard Plan, which features low hourly and daily rates, a small monthly fee, and is designed for our typical members to drive 3 or 4 times a month. (You can always switch plans if you need to, with your new plan starting at the beginning of next month.)
