City CarShare


City Carshare was a carsharing program that operated in the San Francisco Bay area. It rented vehicles by the hour. In 2016, the company effectively ceased operations, when Getaround, another carsharing company, took over City CarShare's fleet, parking spaces, and member base.

History

At its inception in 2001, City CarShare was the only carsharing program in the San Francisco area. By 2002, the company expanded to Oakland, Berkeley, and Palo Alto. In 2004 City Carshare sold off cars from its fleet in favor of using shared vehicles.
In 2011 City CarShare was one of eighteen organizations to form the North American CarSharing Association, the world's largest. City CarShare was one of the lead organizations in the new association, which had 100,000 members upon its launch. In 2011 City CarShare also partnered with the city of San Francisco to provide on-street parking exclusively for City CarShare vehicles.
In November 2016 City CarShare reached an agreement with Getaround where Getaround took over City CarShare's fleet, parking spaces and member base.
