About Car Sharing
Car sharing is a model of car rental where people rent cars for short periods of time, often by the hour. There are three car-sharing companies available for employees to utilize – Getaround, Zipcar, and Enterprise Car Share – and all three employ similar technology.
Benefits of Car Sharing:
- Various locations throughout the Bay Area, including over 50 vehicles to choose from within 0.6 miles of 375 Beale Street.
- Provides low-emission, fuel-efficient vehicles.
