This morning, Uber is hosting Go Get Zero, their first-ever sustainability product event introducing new products and features to support their march to zero-emissions. One of the products is coming to Toronto later this year—Uber Carshare—the newest way to rent affordable cars from people right in your neighborhood.
With Uber Carshare, getting behind the wheel will be:
- Convenient: You can find cars right around the corner to instantly unlock and drive.
- Flexible: Enjoy hourly options so you only pay for the time you need.
- Affordable: Browse a wide variety of quality cars to find the best fit for your needs and budget.
If residents are interested in being one of the first borrowers or owners with Uber Carshare, they can sign up today to be notified of launch details at this link.
Just because you need a car sometimes, doesn’t mean you need to own one. Uber believes that car sharing is one of the most affordable and sustainable ways to access a car. Uber Carshare allows customers to pick up a nearby car and drive it themselves. Together with Rides, public transportation, riding a bike and walking, this means that you no longer need to own a car to get where you want, how you want.
Most cars sit idle and are unused the majority of the time, so by putting them into shared use – optimizing utilization of existing vehicles on the road – it means fewer cars are needed to move more people. Research shows that carsharing can support car-free or car-lite lifestyles and even lead active users to reduce or “shed” the number of cars they owned before.
Since recently acquiring Car Next Door in Australia – and rebranding to Uber Carshare – Uber has seen the platform grow significantly, which has given them the confidence to launch this product in Toronto and Boston later this year. Uber Carshare is a perfect example of how we’re continuing to identify, innovate and scale the products that are meaningful to consumers and our business.
This is part of their sustainability commitment to provide sustainable, shared alternatives to the personal car. Other innovations that empower Canadians throughout the country to choose green include:
- Uber Comfort Electric: It’s as simple as tapping a button and getting a ride in a premium EV. This is now available in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
- Uber Green: The most widely available on-demand mobility solution in the world for no- or low-emission rides.
- Transit: We’re partnering with local transit agencies around the world to add real-time transit information and ticket purchase directly in the Uber app.
- Bikes and scooters: We’ve integrated Lime bikes and scooters into the Uber app across 55+ cities globally, with plans to expand micromobility options.
