After years of #carsharing, I am considering buying an #OwnCar. But before I decide, please help me to confirm that this is the right choice:   1.🎫 Is it true that I have to pay extra for #OwnInsurance? And pay for annual inspections? Then it all becomes very expensive. Is there a workaround for this?   2. 🕰 What do you actually do with your #OwnCar when you're not using it? I've gotten so used to pay-for-use that I can't imagine having to pay for the other 95% of the time! Is there a clever trick for this?   3.🚘  Someone wrote on #Facebook that the owner of an #OwnCar must arrange storage space himself. Is that really true? I don't have such space, because my garden is already full.   4.🤸♀️ I read that some people solve this by putting their #OwnCar in public space. But that’s not allowed for any of my belongings! Anyway, shouldn't kids be able to play there? Wouldn’t it look awful if everyone just started doing that! We can’t design residential areas completely for cars, now can we!   5.🤖 Are there companies that offer #OwnCars and ensure that you always have the latest innovations? I'm used to driving state-of-the-art and I'm not going to buy something that will quickly be outdated.   6.😒 ⁠I never see it on TV, but heard that an #OwnCar leads to less exercise and obesity. With #carsharing, I always think about using it and often walk or cycle instead. I really need that incentive. How is this arranged with an #OwnCar? Will I be financially compensated for a lower life expectancy? 7.️👨🔧 What if your #OwnCar breaks down? I'm smart but not very handy. Do I have to take it somewhere for repair every time?   8.🏙 A guy recently said that an #OwnCar for everyone is not feasible, because it would require additional parking space many times the space required for new homes. I would feel guilty. How do I ensure that I am not held responsible for this? Can I put 'carshare' stickers on it without actually sharing it?   9.💪 ⁠Someone said I'd better buy 'a big car' (#SUV?) to ensure that I can do everything with it. Now I use all kinds of cars, depending on what I need. Those big cars for everyone, is that efficient? Or can the size be manually adjusted?   10.⁠👬 #Carsharing makes me meet others and creates a sense of neighbouring. What if everybody has an #OwnCar? How does that stimulate interaction in my neighbourhood?   11.🧽 I recently saw someone washing his #OwnCar. Haha: that really made me chuckle! Is that a hobby of his or should I do that myself as well? I’m used to having this done by a professional.   12.🌨 I seriously thought 'winter tires' was a bad joke. But a Google search confirmed that I have to change the tires of my #OwnCar in different seasons. Really?   Hey? This all doesn’t seem to add up. It seems quite inefficient in financial resources and materials, creates a burden on myself and unsustainable costs for society. What am I missing here?

While 1 shared car can take 9 conventional cars off the streets, the most active cars on GoMore are actually shared between 11 households per month. Need we say more? Car sharing is a well proven solution for creating better urban spaces ♻ 🌍 💚 #mobilityweek #europeancommission #sustainableurbanmobility #sharingiscaring #gomore #amovens #carsharing

With more than 70% of Europeans living in urban areas, public space has become scarce in many cities. Ultimately, the cities we live in are shaped by the individual choices we make so let’s work together to improve our shared public space. This year's European Mobility Week invite perspectives on smarter mobility to better share public space.

Size doesn't matter? Well, it does when it comes to making the best use of our shared public space 💡 On average, cars have become 23% broader and 27% longer over the past four decades and every year 85.4 million new vehicles are produced globally. Did you know that one car takes up 150m2 of space in the cities? Let's share the cars we already have instead ♻ 🌍 💚 #europeancommission #sustainableurbanmobility #mobilityweek #sharingiscaring #gomore #amovens #carsharing
