Ride Sharing Taxi Service via Smartphone App

LYFT  

 

Lyft has given drivers pink mustaches on cars deployed as a taxi service, making Lyft the most recognized ride sharing service in the transportation industry by founders John Zimmer and Logan Green.
Lyft said it has said it arranges about 30,000 weekly rides.

Lyft's Facebook page has mustached fans.
 

Their pink mustache called their "Carstache" inspired the LED mustache DiscoLyft vehicle to go with the driver's party-themed car. "We are a peer-to-peer service," Zimmer said.

Competition includes UberX private car-inspired service, and Sidecar with drivers occasionally  having a side mirror covering in orange color.

Relay Rides Car Sharing

 

On July 17, 2012, six million General Motors vehicle owners with OnStar could rent their cars hourly through the RelayRides nationwide car-sharing service — without meeting renters face to face. GM says owners could make hundreds of dollars monthly.
GM's venture capital arm invested in RelayRides.

Car-sharing services such as Zipcar and Wheelz gained popularity in urban areas, where many people need occasional transportation but can't justify the cost of owning and parking a vehicle. The potential size of the OnStar-RelayRides network far surpasses established rental-car firms like Hertz and Enterprise.

Launched in 2010, RelayRides lets car owners set their own hourly rates — typically $5 to $12 — and takes a percentage of the revenues as its fee. Potential renters surf the company's website and pick cars by profile; the rental fee includes driving miles and gas, including extra insurance, roadside assistance. RelayRides says some owners can make up to $650 a month from the service.

OnStar can lock and unlock subscribed vehicles remotely, so renters can enter an OnStar-equipped car by either smartphone or replying to a text message. OnStar makes cars easier to rent.
