Car-sharing networks spread the use of a few vehicles between a number of drivers.
Carpooling and ride-sharing help to reduce the number of cars on the road. Choose sustainable driving habits to help Vancouver reach its Transportation 2040 goals.
Car-sharing
Need a car but don't want to own one? Join a car-sharing organization to gain access to hundreds of vehicles that you can rent by the minute, hour, or day. Save the expense of owning and maintaining your own vehicle, including the gas and maintenance costs.
Vehicles are conveniently located throughout Vancouver and can be reserved online, by smartphone app, or over the phone.
Car-share vehicles have dedicated parking spaces located in private parking lots and on City streets. As a car-share user, you can park an actively rented car-share vehicle at a metered parking space without cost for up to 2 hours (as of July 23, 2019).
If you are operating an Evo one-way car-share vehicle, you are able to end your trip in metered parking spaces as long as there are no other “no-stopping” regulations that supersede the metered parking (as of September 12, 2019).
City by-laws also allow car-share vehicles to park in "resident parking only" (RPO) and "no parking except with permit" areas.
