Although parallel parking – we can't solve that for you – will always be an issue, you will benefit in many ways with a shared car: driving a shared car (often, not always, but in many situations) is much cheaper than having your own car (all costs taken into account), more sustainable in use (because there are fewer cars in the Netherlands, and you only use it when you really need it), and offers convenience and flexibility. You don't even have to worry about insurance costs, depreciation and maintenance costs and parking permits, but only pay when you actually take the car. That one box you saw on Marktplaats, and that absolutely has to be picked up, is suddenly an option. And now you can actually put 'you will be brought home' on the invitations for your kids' birthday party. And we thought the shared car was the hero of the day when we spontaneously decided to have a party and we got all the groceries home without back and saddle pain...

So why would you share a car? Because it is so convenient when you really need a car. For example, if you do not own a car yourself, or your partner's is always in use. Or when your car has to go to the garage. Or maybe you have a small car, and you need a larger one every now and then for stuff, or a trip with friends. Then a car sharing subscription offers a solution. And then imagine that in a while the roads are a lot quieter. Less traffic jams, more space on the street, more space for greenery and there is less CO2 emission. Sounds good, right? By sharing more and more cars, we need to own fewer. Yet many people still see bears instead of shared cars on the road, while such a shared car has more advantages than disadvantages. By using a shared car, you never have to worry about maintenance and the additional costs, car insurance, road tax and that eternal parkingstruggles (parking permits, no space, every city dweller knows). And by share you ensure 175-265 (!) kg less CO2 emissions per year. Sharing is truly caring due.
