Types of Car-Sharing: From Loops to Co-Driving with CoCarmoov

Car-sharing has become a key solution for sustainable mobility, reducing CO₂ emissions and promoting shared vehicle use. Here’s an overview of the main models — plus the collaborative newcomer: co-driving.

🚗 Round-trip car-sharing

  1. Pick up and return at the same station.
  2. Perfect for organised, planned trips.
  3. Often requires subscription + booking.

🚘 One-way car-sharing

  1. Pick up at point A, drop off at point B.
  2. Very convenient in urban environments.
  3. Depends on station availability.

🚙 Free-floating car-sharing

  1. Use an app to locate a nearby car.
  2. Drop the vehicle anywhere within an authorised zone.
  3. Extremely flexible but may lack availability.

🤝 Peer-to-peer car-sharing

  1. Organised between individuals or via platforms.
  2. Works well in rural or suburban areas.
  3. Requires good coordination and booking management.

🌿 Co-driving: collaborative car-sharing

Unlike traditional models, co-driving involves transporting someone else’s vehicle from A to B.

On the collaborative platform CoCarmoov :

  1. A private co-driver conducts the vehicle.
  2. Compensation : €0.10/km.
  3. May include moving assistance, carpooling or parcel-sharing.
  4. Encourages eco-driving and optimises existing routes.
Co-driving represents a new chapter in shared mobility — more efficient, greener and truly collaborative.
