Car Insurance Car

Carsharing companies have been targeting college and university campuses for many years, and now WeCar by Enterprise has opened up another market - military bases.

The deal is with Army Air Force Exchange Service (PXs in common terms) will initially offer car sharing at Fort Carson Army Base in Colorado, Fort Bragg Army Base in North Carolina and Kaneohe Bay Marine Base, Hawaii with 2 or 3 vehicle locations on each base.

Rates are $10 per hour including gasoline and state minimum liability insurance with a $500 deductible.  Daily rates are $65 per day ($70 on weekends) with 200 miles included.  Chevy Malibu and Ford Escapes are the vehicles being offered in the initial launch.  The service will be available to those 18 years and older that meet the driving history requirements.

Future expansion is planned for Hawaii's Hickam Air Force Base, Schofield Barracks Army Base and Joint Base Lewis-McChord Army Base in Washington state.

“Our goal is to provide an alternative to ease the transportation burden on military bases, where convenient transportation may be needed for duty-related activities and other errands,” said Ryan Johnson, assistant vice president for WeCar and Rideshare for Enterprise.

The carsharing option could be attractive to servicemen and women on a short duty assignment to a particular base or as an occasional second car for families living on-base.

How did I miss it?  This summer Greenwheels (officially Collect Car BV) of Rotterdam announced plans to expand to London in 2011 and into Paris, Barcelona and Stockholm in 2012.

Apparently it's been under the radar screen for most people.  But this is a huge step for Greenwheels, which has operates in about 100 cities in The Netherlands and 25 cities in Germany.  It's an indication that there's likely to be some major carsharing expansion and competition in a number of markets in Europe.

Greenwheels interest in setting up shop in London first came out during the Zipcar-Streetcar merger inquiry by the UK Competition Commission.  But nothing more was heard until this summer.  The rollout was originally announced for the end of October and is slightly behind schedule.  The company has announced they would have 34 locations in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Wandsworth, in the heart of Zipcar and City Car Club territory.  As of the posting of this blog, it would appear that setting up the process for hiring managers for the 3 other cities is taking longer than anticipated.

Greewheels, started in 1994, takes a particular approach to the offering it makes in The Netherlands and Germany - small, functional vehicles — no Mini Coopers, so far.  Plus they require a substantial, but refundable, deposit (not uncommon in Europe but not charged by Zipcar).  So it will be interesting to see how this approach works in a more competitive markets like London (3 other carshares including Zip) and Paris (against 6! other companies).  And, in Barcelona Zipcar has an option to buy Avancar and so we will watch developments there with great interest, as well.

Congratulations on this big step Greenwheels.

If your Google Alerts, my blog posts and Tweets, as well as Eric Britton's excellent posts over at World Streets (and on Facebook), don't satisfy your hunger for carsharing news, this new web site Carshare Central Ledger looks like a great way to get your daily fix of carsharing and related news.    Not sure who Lipo is but he/she has set up a nice search function to populate the web site.  But you do have bear with a little overlap with ridesharing/carpooling due to the confusion because of the UK usage of "carsharing" referring to what we colonists refer to as "carpooling".  Nice job.  Thanks Lipo.
