The sharing economy puts power back in the hands of everyday people. You can earn extra income, such as renting out rooms in your home or driving others around town, without having to invest significant time or money.
Car sharing is another great way to earn extra cash on the side. If you own a car and wonder whether car sharing is a good option for you, read on.
5 Reasons to Rent Out Your Car
- Earn passive income. When you rent out your car, you get to make money from something you already own. Plus, you can be doing something else — working, vacationing, sleeping — while you earn.
- Your car pays for itself. Let’s face it: While cars are often a necessity, they aren’t cheap. Renting out your car can reduce the costs of car ownership over time, making the purchase of a new vehicle more worthwhile.
- Lower your travel costs. If you plan to be out of town, you can drive your car to an airport parking lot, take a shuttle to the airport, and catch your flight. Your car is securely parked — free of charge. Plus, you get a professional car wash for free! When you get back in town, your clean car and some extra spending money will be waiting for you.
- Feel better about your car’s safety. If you travel a lot, leaving your car in an unattended garage or apartment parking lot for a long time can be nerve-wracking. With car sharing, you’ll know that someone is looking after your car while you’re gone.
- Help real people like you. Car sharing companies like Avail offer clean, safe vehicles at affordable, transparent rates. Unlike conventional car rental companies, car sharing services offer straightforward pricing without hidden fees. When you rent your car out through a peer-to-peer car sharing service, you help others get a square deal on a car rental.
