What it is ::

HOURCAR buys, insures, and maintains a fleet of member-shared cars. HOURCAR takes on all the responsibilities of owning the vehicles, including paying for fuel. HOURCARs are parked in hubs near members’ homes and workplaces. Members make HOURCAR reservations online or by phone, and pay monthly dues and car usage fees. You pay only for what you use!

Research shows that many car owners use their vehicles only a few hours a day. Why not eliminate an underused car and begin car-sharing? Car-sharing spreads the fixed costs of car ownership among several people. You still have access to a car when you need it, but you don't pay for it around the clock!

• Why Join? •

Save money while helping to improve the Twin Cities’ quality of life. Get rid of your car. Improve your mobility if you don't own a car.

HOURCAR’s innovative mobility service is designed for both individual members and businesses. Just a few of HOURCAR’s many benefits:

Savings: Car ownership is expensive. HOURCAR is an affordable alternative.

Convenience: HOURCAR’s neighborhood hub parking space is always reserved for you. And HOURCAR handles maintenance and cleaning.

Less Traffic, Cleaner Air: HOURCAR’s members drive less after joining. That means less traffic. And HOURCAR’s gas-electric hybrid cars are far better for the environment than the average new car.

Business Benefits: HOURCAR saves your business money and relieves you of fleet management. HOURCAR ends mileage reimbursements and helps support employees who prefer to commute by transit, bike, or carpool but require mobility to meet workday responsibilities.

Best Feature / Our Take :: This concept started in England and has expanded here in the US. This particular organization is in Minneapolis/St.Paul, but new ones are starting all over the country. It is a great concept and this takes anti-consumerism to a whole new level. The website is easy to use and you can make your reservations right online.
