Definition:

The Car-sharing market encompasses car-sharing services. Car-sharing service providers own the vehicles that customers can book independently at any time. Customers need to enter into a contract with the service provider in order to be able to book vehicles via a smartphone app, the website of the service provider, or by telephone. The vehicle is usually opened via smartphone or a chip card. Some service providers, however, provide the car key in a key safe at the car-sharing station. Prices are calculated per minute or hour, with the money being debited from the customer's bank account. Peer-to-peer car-sharing is not included in this market. Car-sharing services are not available in all countries; thus, only a limited number of countries and regions can be selected.
