Car sharing services from a customer point of view

Benchmark

We present to you a snippet of the results of our larger benchmark where we explored multiple other facets of the car sharing brands services.

This benchmark focuses on one time usage and type of vehicle, no discounts, no subscription etc. Some brands have extra cost for deposit, for extra insurance etc. This overview is to give you an idea on the core and differences.

Brands are not always open about details, we have derived this input from their platforms and our own research (by usage).
