Rating of the best car-sharing companies in Novosibirsk in 2020

Car-sharing service appeared in Russia not so long ago, but it is steadily gaining popularity, covering more and more cities. There are car-sharing companies in Novosibirsk. Car sharing - from the English. "Carsharing" is a car rental service from a specialized company or a private person for intracity or not long 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 happen when owning your own transport:

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

How it works

To get started, 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 asks for a passport photo, a selfies of the user with an expanded passport and a photo of a driver's license. According to the terms of the car-sharing agreement, the client must be of age and have at least one year of driving experience.

The submitted 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 the transport at your disposal.

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

With the help of the transport rental service, you can “test” the desired car model. This will be of interest to those who wish to purchase a specific car model 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 rental agreement, the user is obliged to pay a fine.

You cannot travel to another city in a rented car. There is a special area for using the car, as well as an end area where you can end the rental and leave the car.

The remote communication system with the vehicle 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:

Agreement conditions. You should not rush to sign a document without familiarizing yourself with the conditions for car rental and the system of penalties established by this company. Users often receive a fine just 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 renting. It is best to do this during daylight hours in order to detect any damage to the body and interior. The found damage must be photographed and sent to the support service. The company charges a fine from the driver who rented the vehicle last.

Contents of the glove compartment and trunk. Sometimes there remain 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.

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

Rental territory. Each company has established borders within which it is possible to move on rented transport, 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 beyond which territory the exit is prohibited. If this rule is violated, the car sharing company will not be able to contact the driver and will stop the car remotely. It is also undesirable to leave the car in a place outside the parking zone - the car will be evacuated, and the driver will be obliged to pay for the services of a tow truck.

The system of fines worries inexperienced users, but with careful use of the vehicle and following the terms of the car-sharing agreement, no penalty is threatened by the driver.

Car sharing is still just beginning to develop in Russian cities, therefore there are too few operators providing this service with high quality and responsibility for a large city. Car rental cannot fully replace personal transport: you cannot travel any distance by car-sharing car, for example, to another city. The rented transport cannot be altered to fit your needs or use it alone. But keeping a private car in a big city is becoming more expensive and more problematic, and car sharing is an acceptable alternative to a private car, taxi, and public transport.
