Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing is a New Green Trend That Benefits Those Who Need Rides – Image from TreeHugger.com
If you’re not planning to run errands in your vehicle today, why not get paid to not run errands? Thanks to the new and booming phenomenon of peer-to-peer car sharing, you actually can get paid to let others borrow your car for short periods of time and actually be contributing to the green movement. Think of it as getting “greens” for going green.
The businesses that provide peer-to-peer car services actually are creating environmental jobs in that more people’s vehicle demands are being met more easily, thus keeping fewer vehicles on the road, experts say. In addition, if you have an electric vehicle that you use for traveling short distances around town but need to make a long trip that will go past the vehicle’s range of miles, you easily can rent a vehicle through a peer-to-peer car sharing service to make that trip.
This new technology is making commuting easier for many people who need a car for a special purpose but not long enough to obtain a rental car. You easily can borrow the car at a convenient rate: You receive a card that will give you access to the borrowed vehicle for an allotted time frame.
If you’re the car lender, you don’t have to worry about having your car in the hands of someone who can’t be trusted. The peer-to-peer car sharing business installs a device on the car that registers the borrower’s card, and the keys are locked inside of the car until the borrower opens the car.
Many big names have already invested in peer-to-peer car services, including actor Ashton Kutcher, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and even previous Google CEO Eric Schmidt. These individuals’ funds have invested money into Getaround, which allows people to engage in peer-to-peer car sharing. Examples of companies that provide environmental jobs in the peer-to-peer car market include Wheelz, Zipcar and Relay Rides.
So far, the car sharing service market appears extremely promising. As long as business owners work out bugs related to gas card costs and liability insurance, this could be a gold mine for environmental jobs and green investors in our increasingly mobile society for years to come.
