Car sharers share across significantly more categories than non-car sharers – 11 versus 8 categories on average.
Which is odd, because car "sharing" isn't really sharing in any normal sense -- no more than Avis about car sharing or Hilton is about sharing rooms.
- krgaskins 16y agoTo me, people who car-share have prioritized access over ownership as a lifestyle. Plenty of people who own cars occasionally rent a vehicle from Avis (say, when they travel or when their car is in the shop)—so that seems a little different than being a Zipcar member. More directly to your point, the end of the report (PDF) also addresses the evolving notion of what "sharing" means to people these days.
