Car share
How does this service work?
Woollahra Council supports car sharing as a convenient, sustainable and low cost alternative to car ownership, car rentals and taxis. Car sharing is a scheme designed to provide easy access to a car on an hourly, weekly or ad hoc basis.
Once signed up to the scheme, you book your Car Share online or over the phone and collect it from its dedicated Car Share spot. You can access the vehicle with a keycard, drive the car for the allotted time and return it to the same dedicated spot. Cars can be reserved for immediate use or reserved up to a year in advance. Minimum booking is for one hour.
Car Share schemes can reduce traffic and parking congestion and help the environment. Car sharing, pioneered in Europe in the 1970s and first introduced in Woollahra in 2008, provides residents and local companies with a sustainable alternative to car ownership at a fraction of the cost. Car sharing can benefit both the user and the environment.
