Understanding Car Sharing:

Car sharing offers members on-demand access to cars and vans to hire by the hour or day. You can pick up a vehicle for your booked time, drive it wherever you need to go, and then conveniently return it to the same location. This flexibility helps members ditch car ownership entirely, potentially reducing the need for a second or third vehicle in their household. As a result, car sharing contributes to less traffic and fewer parking headaches for everyone.

Professional vs. Peer-to-Peer

It's important to understand the two main models: professional car sharing and peer-to-peer car sharing.
Professional car sharing companies like GoGet own and maintain their fleets, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and strategic placement of vehicles to meet demand. They include fuel in the rental and mostly provide dedicated parking spaces, making the process more convenient.
In contrast, P2P platforms like Turo rely on individual car owners, leading to variability in vehicle quality and availability. Fuel policies and maintenance standards can differ, and finding a car might be less predictable due to the network not being optimised in the same way as professional services, which ensure vehicle availability based on member needs rather than the supply from car owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For many people, car sharing can be significantly cheaper than owning a car. You avoid fixed costs like registration, insurance, and maintenance, and only pay for the time you use the car. Carshare will be cheaper for you if you drive less than 13,000kms a year.

  • GoGet is a professional car sharing service. We own and maintain our fleet, ensuring consistent quality and availability. Peer-to-peer platforms connect individual car owners with renters. This can offer a wider variety of cars, but availability and quality can vary.

  • GoGet is known for its competitive rates, especially for short-term rentals or frequent use. While Peer-to-Peer carshare might offer lower daily rates for long rentals, additional fees and hidden costs can add up quickly.

  • GoGet offers more flexibility and convenience compared to traditional car rentals. You can book cars by the hour, find them conveniently located near you, and avoid long wait times at rental counters.

  • Most GoGet cars have dedicated parking spaces for easy pick-up and drop-off. Availability of parking spaces can vary with Peer-to-Peer operators like Turo and Uber Carshare.

  • GoGet allows free cancellation up until the booking starts. All other carshare operators may only offer a partial refund if you cancel or edit your trip outside a certain window.

  • GoGet provides membership plans with varying fees, allowing you to choose one that suits your usage. It unlocks a fleet of cars and vans for hourly or daily rentals, with fuel included and no hidden fees. Enjoy peace of mind with 24/7 support, roadside assistance, and built-in insurance. Get 100km free daily and cancel anytime. Plus, reduce your environmental impact compared to peer-to-peer carsharing, which often has variable availability, uncertain fuel costs, and limited support. Choose GoGet for a convenient, hassle-free carsharing experience.

  • GoGet prioritises safety. All our cars are well-maintained and insured. We also offer 24/7 roadside assistance for added peace of mind. Peer-to-Per carshare operators’ maintenance standards rely on individual car owners and can differ.
