Private car hire (also known as Peer2Peer car sharing) is the process whereby the owner of a car makes it available to others in their area in exchange for payment.
It is a form that fits the idea of the sub-economy, where use of goods is detached from ownership. Probably the rise of social media will contribute to the place that this phenomenon will take in society. Background
The business model of private car rental organizations consists of mediation between car owners and tenants. The companies do not own their own cars, unlike classic car body organizations like Greenwheels. In this way, there is a greater variety of automobiles available, and there are also part-cars available in places where it is not profitable for a classic car body organization to place a car. The benefits to the car owner are in the return of car costs. Most websites include a percentage of insurance, the rest of the rental income is for the car owner. Because organizations that allow private car sharing do not need to invest in getting new cars, and cars do not need to fully recover, these initiatives can grow relatively quickly. In 2011, the first private car body organizations (SnappCar and Mywheels) began in the Netherlands. In 2014, more than 70% of the vans in the Netherlands came from one of these two companies. The systems
There are roughly two different systems available to enable private car hire: 1) with key transfer 2) with hardware in the car and an automated unlocking system. This makes it possible to use the built-in hardware, which allows the car to be opened by car. In practice, these systems do not always work flawlessly, and the equipment is quite expensive. The car has to be rented often if you want to return the costs. Initiatives in the Netherlands currently use manual key transfer. Upon this transfer, the tenant and landlord immediately sign a contract that assures insurance and liability.
