When you really need a car, having one is great for getting around. But owning a car costs money — around $500 a month when you add insurance, gas, maintenance, and parking to the monthly payment.

By comparison, the average City CarShare member pays about $45 a month for the same freedom. And average trips cost about $6.75 per hour, when you add hours and miles together.

Our rates always include gas, maintenance and the best insurance you can get — up to $1 million per incident.
