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. Gas, insurance, parking and maintenance are all included. With three great plans to choose from, you'll be saving a lot 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 Simple Plan which features low hourly and daily rates, a small yearly fee and is designed for our typical members to drive 1 or 2 times a month. (You can always switch plans if you need to, with your new plan starting at the beginning of the next month)
