How to Start a Car Sharing Club Living in the country or another area where car rental or sharing isn't available puts a strain on drivers needing an extra car for errands and day trips or for when a primary car breaks down. However, along with family, friends and other people in your neighborhood or community, you can start a car sharing club. Enjoy the convenience of having a temporary car available when you need one. Read on to learn how to start a car sharing club. Find out who's interested in starting a car sharing club. Take a vote or poll at public meetings or gatherings, and ask around when you are out and about and find people who would like to participate in starting and joining the club. Write down names and numbers and keep a list. Plan a special meeting and make an agenda of what you will discuss during the meeting. Call people on your list to invite them to meet. Encourage people to bring food and drinks which tend to make meetings go smoother.
Prepare a small presentation ahead of time about the benefits of starting a car sharing club. Outline procedures you think you will have to take as a group to start a car sharing club.
Attend the meeting and talk with interested friends, family members and other people about car and/or truck usage needs. Give your presentation and allow plenty of time for others to ask questions and speak.
Encourage everyone to come to decisions about how many vehicles you would like to purchase as a group, where you would like to purchase the vehicle(s) from and how much you will all be willing to spend on the vehicle(s).
Decide who will lead the club and if the leaders will be elected or appointed. Figure out who will be responsible for having the vehicle maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. Assign a treasurer and secretary.
Look for good deals on cars. Find out from your new club's interested people if they know someone who will sell you a good car or truck. Know that some farmers or ranchers (if you live in the country) would probably be willing to share a work truck to get your club started.
Check dealerships--but take someone along who is good at negotiating. See if you can get a corporate or business discount on a car or truck. Check online for bargains on sites such as Auto Trader or eBay.
Get insurance coverage. Find out about group or business coverage from your insurance agent to start a car sharing club. Tips & Warnings
