Intercity and intracity car sharing services play a vital role in addressing the diverse transportation needs of individuals living in urban areas. Intercity car sharing enables seamless and cost-effective travel between cities, reducing the reliance on traditional rental services and promoting sustainable mobility.

One prominent example of the free float model is offered by car sharing companies like car2go, which enables users to locate and unlock nearby vehicles using a mobile app, facilitating spontaneous and one-way trips without the need for pre-booking or designated return locations. The peer-to-peer model of car sharing involves individuals renting out their privately-owned vehicles to other users through a dedicated platform. This model promotes resource sharing and allows vehicle owners to earn income from their underutilized cars. For instance, Turo operates as a peer-to-peer car sharing platform, connecting vehicle owners with individuals seeking short-term rentals, thereby expanding the availability of rental vehicles beyond traditional fleet-based services. Whereas, in the stationary model, car sharing services maintain designated parking locations where users can pick up and return vehicles. This model offers a structured approach to vehicle access and is often integrated with public transportation hubs to facilitate seamless multimodal journeys. Zipcar is a prominent example of a car sharing service that operates based on the stationary model, providing members with access to vehicles parked at designated locations for round-trip rentals.
