“For the short hops around HRM my CarShare is just ideal. Amazing how quickly I became accustomed to using the car. Particularly the ease with which you can arrange the time to pick up and return. It became my car with the running costs all included at a very reasonable price.”
– Ted Worthington

“Joined CarShareHFX last month and I’m loving it! The convenience of being able to book a car or van at the last minute 24/7 has been great. Friendly and helpful staff too!” – Ann Swain

“Car-sharing is poised for explosive growth, as it enables consumers to save on the expense and hassle of car ownership, while reducing traffic and pollution.” – Steve Case, Founder AOL

“Sharing the road: The number of drivers turning to car sharing is forecast to grow eightfold by 2016 ...there's a positive feedback loop with car sharing. "More utilization begets more cars which begets more members, which begets more utilization," and so on.” – Toronto Star, February 20, 2010

CarSharing is for everyone young and old!

Is It For Me?

CarSharing is for everyone who wants to maintain the mobility of having a car on hand 7/24, without the worry and expense of owning one.

It's an excellent fit for occassional car users for errands, appointments and get aways.
CarSharing is great for telecommunters and teleworkers for professional mobility which can be precisely charged back client accounts.
It works really well for people who transit or car pool into the city and need a vehicle to get around in.
It is the perfect "second car"
CarSharing is ideal for seniors who no longer need or want to maintain there own automobile.
It's an affordable alternative for young people contemplating a first car purchase and associated insurance costs.

For businesses and organizations CarSharing is a practical way to:

provide your workforce easy access to vehicle mobility for deliveries, sales and service.
delegate the responsibility for fleet maintenance
dramatically simplify transportation costs accounting
save money and the environment

If this sounds like you, ask yourself these three questions...

Do you want to drive clean, modern vehicles?
Let's say you need to move at the end of the month or you want to pick up a bunch of friends with sports gear - reserve the Rondo (seats up to 7). Want to go on a date, just the two of you? A Honda Fit, or Toyota Matrix, or Prius.

CarShareHFX gives you quick, convenient hourly access to clean, reliable cars, stationed at convenient locations across the Halifax peninsula and in downtown Dartmouth.

Do you want to save lots of money?
With CarSharing you make a small commitment by becoming a member which grants you access to vehicles around the clock. Owning a car requires a comparitively enormous financial (and lifestyle) commitment. See how CarSharing can save you thousands of dollars each year.

Do you want to take away the bother of:

Negotiating and paying insurance
Vehicle financing paperwork and obligations
Unexpected trips to the repair shops
Vehicle inspections
Parking permits

Do you want to help Halifax?
Cities are primarily people places and yet cars have come to dominate. Too many of our streets are congested. There's not enough parking. Car emissions contribute to Halifax's air pollution, to climate change, to children's asthma and other illnesses. By sharing a car instead of buying one, you make a real difference:

Each CarShareHFX vehicle helps decrease road traffic (by up to 15 vehicles)
CarShareHFX members will collectively reduce their GHG emissions by as much as 50%
CarSharing helps to relieve traffic and parking congestion
CarShareHFX cars are chosen for more than their quality and fuel-efficiency – and are carefully and professionally maintained.

Sounds great! How do I Join?
