"Carsharing, hereafter known as traditional carsharing or B2C carsharing, is a system whereby people rent cars on a temporary basis, usually by the hour. Carsharing is markedly different from car rental. While for both systems, the fleet of cars are owned by the, the carsharing system is more distributed and operates on a more customer trust basis. Car rentals offices are normally at only a few select places throughout the city. Carshares have appropriated parking areas throughout the city from which users can pick the car up from and drop it off to. Most carsharing users live within walking distance of the nearest Point of Departure and Drop-off (PODD). Carsharing organizations normally operate on membership basis where you pay a small monthly fee."
