Car sharing costs compared

Should I buy a car or car share?

₁ Using a Toyota Yaris 5 door automatic hatch for calculations

₂ Cost to reduce excess to lowest available level, while on a frequent user plan

₃ Light use assumes one 3-hour booking and one all-day booking each month

₄ Medium use assumes three 3-hour bookings and two all-day bookings each month

₅ Frequent use assumes seven 3-hour bookings and five all-day bookings each month

Notes: There are a lot of variables involved in these comparisons. To keep things simple, we've looked at a typical scenario for someone who drives occasionally around the city, and wants to reduce their risk by opting for the lowest possible excess. We assume that for each 3-hour booking you'll drive 30km and on each all-day booking you'll drive 50km. If you want a detailed cost comparison for a different kind of car use (e.g. if you take frequent long trips, or are comfortable with a high excess, or want to compare against another car share company) please read this post or get in touch!
