Auto Insurance Cost Included In “U Car Share” Price
Salt Lake City, Utah has a new program called the “U Car Share” program where an individual can drive around town without owning a car. The program allows you to “borrow” a car to run errands or get to a meeting at competitive prices. Ten other cities are trying the program as well. The article “Car Rentals by the Hour, A New Option For Getting Around Town” by Annie Cutler on abc4.com has more details.
Community leaders hope the “U Car Share” program will improve air quality, increase public transportation, and help traffic. There are 20 cars at about 12 stalls throughout the city with numerous types of cars. The cost includes a one-time membership fee, an hourly rate, and an additional $.50 per mile. Gas and auto insurance costs are built into the price. You will need to be 18 years of age in addition to having a valid drivers license.
Currently the membership fee is set at only $5 and an hourly rate of $4.95. They intend on raising the membership fee to $25 after January 15th, but they hope the low introductory price will entice drivers to try out the program. Many are hopeful that the program is a big success.
