Our Community CarShare (OCCS) Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is our community car share? (OCCS)
Our Community Car Share (OCCS) provides discounted, hourly, electric vehicle rentals to eligible residents in the Sacramento region. OCCS aims to reduce transportation barriers and pollution. Our members rent an electric Zipcar for $4 per hour. OCCS membership is free.
2. Can my caretaker or family member drive me?
Yes. Your caretaker must verify their employment with you AND complete the enrollment steps for OCCS. Family members must live in your household.
If you need someone to drive you, CarShare Representatives are available at select locations to drive other community members. Contact us for details at info@ourcarshare.org
3. How long can I use the car?
Up to 8 hours a day in a 24 hour period and for a total of 24 hours a week. These hours can be broken up (ie. 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in evening) but this requires separate reservations.
4. Can I bring people along with me on my reservation?
Yes, Chevy Bolts, Kia Niros and Hyundai Konas can seat 5 people including the driver. The Chrysler Pacifica can seat 7 people including the driver. We encourage carpooling! Let others know when you are planning a trip so they can join you to run their errands or tag along for the ride.
