Car sharing is a service that offers the peace-of-mind of the automobile without the up-front costs, hassles, or environmental impacts associated with private vehicle ownership.
Members reserve vehicles on an hourly basis for errands or occasional trips, while relying on other modes of transportation (such as walking, bicycling, using public transit, or carpooling) for their daily commute.

When a reservation comes up, the registered member goes out to the car, uses an electronic key fob to access it, and then drives the vehicle as if they owned it. The car tracks the time out, time returned, and miles traveled. The car is then returned to the same spot it was taken from and is available to the member with the next reservation.
Anyone 18 or older with a relatively clean driving record can become a member, and will be insured for use of any cars in the Buffalo CarShare (BCS) fleet. Membership is most convenient for those that live within a mile of vehicle hubs, but membership is open to anyone interested, and accessing the vehicles from the Metro Bus or Metro Rail is easy.
