  Advantages and disadvantages

  Consider a brief comparison of different types of car sharing.

Car sharing is beneficial for the driver for the following reasons:

• car advertising coloring

The advantages of the Uber service are as follows:

• the ability to refuse the order if it does not match the application;
• affordable price of the service;

• Sometimes it takes a little more time to find a convenient option than expected.

Carpooling suggests such advantages:

• the opportunity to make new acquaintances (not a plus for everyone, but still).

The cons include:

• the need to travel with unfamiliar companions;
• the complexity of organizing unpopular routes;
• security risks.

Using a taxi service is associated with such advantages:

• there are guarantees for the timely passage of the provided vehicle;
• Drivers with certain experience, skills, knowledge of routes are allowed to work;
• It is not required to maintain a conversation during the trip;
• the cost, as a rule, is fixed and announced before the trip;

By cons include:

• established, not always affordable tariffs;
• the need to pay for waiting;
• the impossibility of choosing a driver and car brand;
• not suitable for long trips over long distances due to economic disadvantages.

Classic car rental without a driver gives such advantages:

• all cars are in good condition;
• simple and fast car rental registration system in Minsk;
• freedom for the client (no travel companions, no dependence on the route);
• minimum restrictions on access to the service;
• reasonable prices for car rental in Minsk;
• Online payment for reservation and rental.

The disadvantages of this type of car sharing are few! And the most significant minus is responsibility. Using someone else's car implies the need to return the car in proper condition.

Compare the possibilities of different types of car sharing

Each type of car sharing has its own specifics. For example, to call a taxi and go to the desired point on the route, you have to wait until the dispatcher picks up a free car and sends it to you. You will have to pay for such a service at the established rate. In comparison, Uber seems to someone easier and more affordable. However, not everyone likes to ride with unfamiliar drivers. A good solution was found in the “carpooling” system for this problem too! You can choose a driver, which is called "on their own." For example, students drive students, and pensioners, pensioners, workers travel with workers along the way. The carpooling system implies the ability to refuse a car with a driver if, in fact, the interests did not coincide and an inappropriate option was chosen instead of the expected driver. But for those who are not used to sharing a car with a stranger, but want to economically simplify the daily or one-time planned use of a vehicle, classic car rental is most suitable!

This system assumes:

• the ability to choose the right car;
• selection of the location of the required car;
• booking your favorite car for a given time and date;
• comfortable use of transport without risk.

As a result, the driver also saves money on maintaining the car, receives the necessary transport on the right day and uses its agreed time period. All that is required of the driver is to return the car in proper condition and the deadline strictly established by the contract!
