Borrowers
Benefits For Me
Joining a carsharing community is a way not to simply save money traditionally spent on car ownership, but to also simplify your life, make a difference for the environment, and be a part of your community.
Why own a car and have to worry about parking, maintenance and all of the fees associated with it (almost $8,000 per year on average), when you can simply borrow cars when you need them right in your neighborhood for an affordable, all-inclusive price.
Let’s Talk Price Savings
We understand that any major decision that affects your transportation needs to make sense economically. If you have a car, how much do all of your costs add up to – between gas, insurance, maintenance, parking and financing payments. A typical car owner pays around $700 every month for their car, yet they use it an hour or two a day.
Membership with RelayRides provides you with access to cars for as low as $6 per hour – and that already includes gas, insurance and parking. You don’t have to worry about maintaining the car or dealing with high monthly fixed costs. If you drive the car for less than 25 hours per week, then becoming a member of RelayRides can save you money!
Is It Convenient?
Very! Carsharing is meant to be as convenient as owning your own car. Vehicles are positioned all over the city, so you can typically find one right on your block or just a short walk away.
You simply go online or call to make a reservation whenever you need a car, walk over and wave your member card over the windshield, and drive. No need to worry about finding a parking space when you come back or worrying about hidden fees.
What Else?
A carsharing vehicle can take up to 14+ cars off the road, not to mention that it reduces the driving that existing members typically do by almost 40%. If you are looking to live a car-free lifestyle in a way that’s sustainable and convenient for your needs, we invite you to give us a try!
