Uber announced its plans to introduce peer-to-peer car sharing in North America, starting with Toronto and Boston. This move comes as part of Uber’s commitment to sustainability and reducing emissions, aligning with its goals to promote greener transportation options. The ride-hailing giant previously launched a successful car-sharing service in Australia after acquiring Car Next Door. The service, now known as Uber Carshare, allows app users to rent out their vehicles by the hour or day. Users can conveniently browse and reserve available vehicles through the app. The vehicle owners will determine the final pricing and availability, and they will also have the ability to set their own prices. Fuel costs are included in the rental fee.
During the Go-Get product event in London. Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized the importance of sustainability and expressed Uber’s commitment to integrating greener choices into their platform. This move is part of their larger strategy to address the environmental impact of transportation. Uber aims to reach zero-emissions goals by incorporating sustainability into the core user experience.
While Uber has not disclosed the next locations for the car-sharing service. The company tends to prioritize high-density cities and areas where car travel is essential. By expanding its car-sharing service, Uber aims to provide more convenient and eco-friendly transportation options to its users, contributing to a greener future.
