New car share discounts for VCH staff
Vancouver Coastal Health has partnered with three major car share organizations in the Lower Mainland as part of its clean energy transportation initiative. Employees are encouraged to car share and enjoy the many benefits it offers.
Car sharing and its benefits
Carsharing is an accessible and convenient model of car rental where you rent cars for short periods of time. It provides access to a fleet of vehicles. The benefits of car sharing include:
- Carsharing can reduce car ownership at an estimated rate of one rental car replacing 15 owned vehicles according to The Economist publication as referenced in Wikipedia.
- It saves you the high cost of owning and maintaining a car and an expensive annual insurance bill.
- It saves you money from paying parking fees when parked at permit only zone or carshare designated home areas without having to worry about paying parking fines.
