Rating of the best car sharing companies in Novosibirsk in 2022

The car sharing service appeared in Russia not so long ago, but it is steadily gaining popularity, covering more and more cities. There are carsharing companies in Novosibirsk as well. Car sharing - from English. "carsharing" - a car rental service from a specialized company or a private person for intracity or short trips. Rent per minute, hourly or daily, depending on the distance of the trip.

The car sharing service has emerged as an alternative to the usual taxi, for using a car without any additional costs, which also happen when owning your own transport:

• no need to pay for gasoline;
• no need to pay for a parking space;
• car maintenance costs are excluded.

How it works

To begin with, the client needs to go through the registration procedure - using Google Play or the App Store, download and install the application of the selected operator on the smartphone. According to the registration rules, the system requests a passport photo, a selfie of a user with an unfolded passport, and a photo of a driver's license. Under the terms of the car sharing agreement, the client must be an adult, have at least a year of driving experience.

The sent data is moderated by the company, and if the requirements are met, the client gets access to the service. Then it remains to choose the nearest car, book and get transport at your disposal.

The fleet of car sharing operators is designed for an experienced driver or a beginner, so the cars provided are equipped with an automatic transmission.

With the help of the car rental service, you can “test” the desired car model. This will be of interest to those who wish to purchase a specific model of the machine and test it in action.

In addition to the obvious advantages, the service has a list of disadvantages:

The client is fully responsible for the provided transport. In case of violation of the terms of the lease agreement, the user is obliged to pay a fine.

You can't drive to another city in a rented car. There is a special area for using the car, as well as a termination area where you can end the rental and leave the car.

The remote communication system with the car sometimes does not work correctly, which is why you have to call the support service.

How to choose a car sharing operator?

Before using the vehicle rental service, you need to carefully consider the following details:

Terms of an agreement. Do not rush to sign a document without reading the terms of the vehicle rental and the system of fines established by this company. Users often receive a fine only because they did not carefully read the terms of the contract and did not understand that their actions were a violation.

Inspection of the vehicle before rent.This is best done during daylight hours to detect any damage to the body and interior. Found damage must be photographed and sent to the support service. The company collects a fine from the driver who rented the vehicle last.

The contents of the glove box and trunk. Sometimes there are things forgotten by the previous user and they need to be reported to the operator. You also need to check the availability of fuel cards.

Careful driving. The driver is responsible for the transport provided for his use, therefore, he must carefully handle the trusted car and drive more carefully than in a personal car. Car-sharing vehicles are equipped with tracking sensors, and for traffic violations, the driver must pay a fine to the company.

Territory of the lease. Each company has set boundaries within which you can move on a rented vehicle, some operators are allowed to travel to the region, or even to a neighboring city. Before making a long trip, the client needs to clarify which territory it is prohibited to travel outside. If this rule is violated, the car sharing company will not be able to contact the driver and stop the car remotely. It is also undesirable to leave the car in a place that is not included in the parking area - the car will be evacuated, and the driver will be required to pay for the services of a tow truck.

The system of fines worries inexperienced users, but if the vehicle is used carefully and the terms of the car sharing agreement are followed, the driver is not threatened with any penalty.

Car sharing is just beginning to develop in Russian cities, so there are too few operators providing this service with high quality and responsibility for a large city.Renting a car cannot fully replace personal transport: a car sharing car cannot travel any distance, for example, to another city. Rented vehicles cannot be altered to suit your needs or used alone. But maintaining a personal car in a big city is becoming more expensive and more problematic, and carsharing is an acceptable alternative to personal cars, taxis and public transport.
