Car sharing is a per-minute or hourly short-term car rental that works like a taxi without a driver. In Russia, carsharing cars are becoming more and more popular.

In order to rent a car-sharing car, you need to contact one or more companies or, accordingly, to an individual. Moreover, for this you do not always need to come to the office; in some companies, a free courier call service is possible to conclude an agreement. For the convenience of the territorial search for suitable cars (for example, through the use of mobile applications for smartphones based on iPhone, iPad, Android, through which partial control of a car-sharing car often occurs), you can conclude contracts with several companies or individuals at once. This is quite possible to make civil legislation, which provides for the principle of freedom of contract.
In the process of making a deal for renting a car-sharing car, you should carefully read the contract, pay special attention to possible controversial issues. For example, one of the restrictions may be a ban on travel to another region. In any case, smoking in such cars is strictly prohibited and faces a fine. Many companies do not prohibit the carriage of pets in car-sharing vehicles, but pets must be placed in specialized bags. Child seats are also not installed in order to exclude the possibility of their abduction, while there are fastenings for them, so you have the right to install your child seats on carsharing cars.
In cases of offenses and crimes committed by the driver of a car-sharing car, he will be liable as the driver of the car, in addition to this, additional liability is often established on the renter driver by the lessor for committing offenses, crimes and violation of the terms of the contract.
Often, it is the car-sharing company that pays for gasoline, washing, repairs, insurance, city parking. However, there are times when the selected company, for example, does not have parking tickets for all cars, in which case you will have to pay for parking yourself. Before accepting the car, you should inspect it, check its technical condition (to avoid misunderstandings).

And of course, no one will relieve you of the need to comply with the Rules of the Road.
And, despite the fact that a car-sharing car can be rented even for one minute, taken and left in any convenient place, it should be borne in mind that it is necessary to get used to the device, control and operating features of any car, especially to a model that has not been previously operated personally. … However, this does not relieve the driver of any liability.
