Having UHaulCarShare available helps to alleviate the demand for on-campus parking, provides an alternative to parents concerned about sending their students to campus without a vehicle and is a resource to faculty and staff members who do not bring vehicles to campus to have a means in which to run errands or get off campus in case of emergency.

Vehicles come equipped with everything a driver would need, including fuel, mileage, insurance and maintenance. 

Bringing car sharing to Appalachian helps in:

  • Reducing the university's carbon footprint
  • Reducing the amount of vehicle traffic on campus
  • Decreasing the need for additional parking structures
  • Reducing the number of vehicles brought in by incoming students
  • Saving money to individual users. (According to University of California Berkely research, Americans saved $154 to $435 a month on transportation costs when using a car share service Source)

So join up and do your part to reduce your impact on the environment (and yourself) and save money by leaving your vehicle at home!
