City of Munster: becoming a business customer of the local car sharing

A city can also become a business customer of the local car sharing operation. This allows the city to lead by example, to make its own fleet management more efficient and to make its employees familiar with the service, which they may also choose to use as private customers. The city of Munster, Germany has taken this one step further by incorporating its own fleet into that of the car sharing provider (Loose, 2009c). On weekends and after 4 pm on weekdays, 13 vehicles stationed at a local authority building become part of the Stadtteilauto fleet and are available to the operator’s customers.
