JustShareIt is a peer-to-peer car rental and car sharing marketplace. It allows individuals to rent vehicles directly from individual car owners or car sharing companies in local neighborhood locations or wherever they are traveling. It allows its members to rent the vehicles by the hour, using their smartphone.[1] As with companies like Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and Zipcar. JustShareIt is considered to be a service provider in the Sharing Economy.[2]

After running a closed Alpha test of its service, JustShareIt launched to the public on January 5, 2012.[3][4]

How it works

Consumers can rent a car, truck, van, or other type of vehicle near them by using JustShareIt's mobile app. Individuals must pass an instant DMV driver's license check in order to become a registered member of the JustShareIt community. Membership is instant.

Individual owners can rent out their car, truck, van or other type of vehicle by the hour or day.[5] The vehicle owner establishes the rental rate and the vehicle's availability.[6] JustShareIt retains a 20% commission of the transaction.

Car rental companies can also list their vehicles on JustShareIt.com. Car rental company vehicles for rent on JustShareIt.com are of two types: Express and On-Demand. Express car rentals allow a JustShareIt member to secure a vehicle from JustShareIt's car rental partners without the need for completing any paperwork at the rental counter; the JustShareIt member simply retrieves the key from JustShareIt's car rental operating partner. On-Demand car rentals allow JustShareIt members to reserve and unlock an unattended car rental by using the JustShareIt mobile app. JustShareIt's mobile app communicates directly with the company's in-vehicle telematics device in the car.[3]
