CarHopper is a peer-to-peer carsharing marketplace. It allows drivers to rent cars from private car owners, and owners to rent out their cars for payment. Car owners can set their own prices, and the company takes 25%. The service has launched in Florida in October 2015. Similar to other car sharing services such as Zipcar, CarHopper utilizes the economic principles of collaborative consumption. However, the peer-to-peer rental model doesn’t require the company to maintain a fleet of vehicles; rather, owners manage and maintain their own vehicles. The peer-to-peer carsharing concept of CarHopper was inspired by similar online marketplaces such as Airbnb and Uber. ==How it works== Unlike traditional car rental services, CarHopper neither owns the vehicles nor maintains them. Rather, they are offering a platform for car owners and renters to connect generating scalability and lower pricing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=App will let owners rent out their cars )〕 People who wish to profit from their cars while they're not being used can register the cars online to be borrowed by other CarHopper members. To make the car available, a car owner that has signed up for CarHopper signs onto the network and states the time and place where the car will be available.The listing will not go live until the user is ready to publish. Owners can charge different prices for hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rentals. The Descriptions and Features sections can be used to advertise their space. They can outline car rules & etiquette or other descriptions regarding their car. CarHopper allows users to publish up to 6 photographs of the car and offers a free professional photography service.〔(), Announcing our Personal Photographer Program〕 A member who wishes to borrow a car will reserve a specific time slot for the car online and will pay for the amount of time they signed up for.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= Miami Today News )〕 After the owner accepts a request, they can coordinate meeting times and contact information with renters. After the rental is complete, users are encouraged to rate & review each other. Reviews help build validity and references both for the renters and the owners. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CarHopper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
