Also, car sharing is on-demand \u2013 meaning you can decide on a spontaneous trip while walking down the street, flick on the APP and bingo find the closest vehicle. Sure, you can search for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globecar.com\/en\/locations\/\">car rental branch<\/a>\u2026 but it must be open and ideally nearby (not all open <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globecar.com\/en\/about\/extended-business-hours\/\">7 days a week till 7PM like Globe does<\/a>). Some car sharing companies allow you to park free in pre-designated parking on the street. Another popular feature is when you need a car from Point A to Point B \u2013 one way. Car Rentals allow you to drop off at other locations but here you can drop off anywhere in the city as long as you park within their designated space.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Main Disadvantages of Car Sharing:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>You need to register &amp; authorize a credit check<\/li>\n<li>Get into a filthy car very often \u2013 Yuck!<\/li>\n<li>Car with empty gas, fill up and submit for refund<\/li>\n<li>Longer periods become very expensive, do the math<\/li>\n<li>No unlimited mileage, limited roadside assistance<\/li>\n<li>Limited vehicles \u2013 No SUVs, Full-size, Minivans, etc\u2026<\/li>\n<li>Arrive late, your car can be given to someone else!<\/li>\n<li>What if no cars in your area?
