Buzzcar to Launch in Brooklyn

The founder of Zipcar is launching Buzzcar, an innovative vehicle-sharing service, right here in Brooklyn. Basically, local car owners rent their cars to local drivers, with Buzzcar taking care of insurance and technology.

Unlike Zipcar, Buzcar doesn't own the vehicles. You do. The idea is to spread the environmental, social, personal and financial benefits of carsharing farther, wider, faster.

Car owners get 60-65% of the revenue (Buzzcar takes 15%; insurance gets the difference). That could be as much as $1500 per neighbor that chooses to drive your car regularly.

There's more diversity for renters: more kinds of cars, sometimes closer, with things like car seats! & bike racks!

Sometime in February, Buzzcar will launch in Brooklyn. (They've been in France for 6 months now.)
