The convenience of a fleet but without the costs!

Many businesses and organizations require access to vehicles on a daily basis. However, maintaining your own fleet can be costly, particularly when vehicles are underutilized. This is where membership in a car sharing orgranization, such as Grand River CarShare, can save your business or organization time and money.

Why should your business or ogranization join?

Whether you need vehicles for as little as 30 minutes or as long as several days, our unique self-serve reservation and vehicle access system can accomodate your staff's changing travel needs.

Grand River CarShare offers...

• Flexibility: Reservations can be made online or through a simple phone call 24 hours a day.
• Affordability: Your business or organization pays only when your staff drive, allowing you to reduce the number of under-utilized vehicle(s) in your fleet.
• Convenience: Cars are centrally located and given the demand of your business or organization could be located on-site.
• Cleaner alternative: Car sharing has proven to reduce auto emissions by over 50% per member. As such car sharing is a great way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Reduced parking demand: Your staff can consider leaving their own cars at home knowing that they have access to our cars whenever needed, thereby reducing your on-site parking demand.
• Time-savings for staff: We maintain the vehicles, insure all your staff drivers, and provide monthly invoices. As well our self-serve vehicle access system means that your staff never have to come to our office for reserving or picking up a car.

Consider this: After joining PhillyCarShare (a non-profit car sharing organization located in Philadelphia - click the above link, then the link for "2005 Stories", then scroll down to the link for "Fleet reduction and culture change in Philadelphia: 10 steps to success") the City of Philadelphia was able to reduce its fleet by 330 cars out of a goal of 450! PhillyCarShare was able to accommodate the City's fleet reduction by adding only three more cars to their own fleet, while providing the City with access to all of their twenty cars.
