Carsharing for cooperatives and eco-neighborhoods
Housing cooperatives, eco-neighborhoods, participatory residences: you already share spaces and values. Why not a car? Co-oto facilitates collective carsharing with a simple and adapted tool.
Collective carsharing: a meaningful project
In housing cooperatives and eco-neighborhoods, sharing is part of the DNA. Shared gardens, common laundry room, collective meeting room... What if you added a shared car to this list?
Collective carsharing reduces the number of vehicles needed, frees up parking space and allows each resident to access a car when needed, without bearing ownership costs alone.
A shared calendar for all residents
Managing reservations for a shared car between 10, 20 or 30 households can quickly become complex. With Co-oto, each resident accesses the same calendar from their smartphone.
Booking in seconds, real-time visibility on availability, reminder notifications: everything is designed to streamline usage without multiplying organizational meetings.
- Up to 10 users per vehicle
- Reservation with departure and return times
- Avoid conflicts and double bookings
Transparent cost distribution
How to fairly distribute the costs of a shared car? Fixed subscription? Usage-based payment? Co-oto gives you the data to decide.
The app records miles driven by each user and expenses made (fuel, maintenance, insurance). You can thus establish a fair contribution, based on actual usage or according to rules you define collectively.
- Tracking of miles per user
- Recording of expenses with receipts
- Exportable data for collective accounting
Simple, without devices or installation
No need for GPS devices, connected keys or complex systems. Co-oto is a lightweight mobile app that works with any vehicle.
Create your group, invite concerned residents, and you're ready. Vehicle location is shared manually after each use so the next user can easily find it.
- No equipment to install in the vehicle
- Set up in minutes
- Compatible with all vehicle types
Who uses Co-oto for collective carsharing?
Housing cooperatives
Does your cooperative own a shared vehicle? Co-oto allows all cooperative members to reserve it and participate fairly in costs.
Eco-neighborhoods
In eco-neighborhoods, reducing the number of cars is a goal. Carsharing with Co-oto allows pooling vehicles between residents.
Participatory residences
Participatory housing encourages resource sharing. A shared car managed with Co-oto naturally fits this approach.
Resident groups
Even without formal structure, a group of residents from the same building or neighborhood can decide to share a common car.
Benefits of collective carsharing
Significant savings
Share costs between many households: purchase, insurance, maintenance, fuel. Considerable savings for everyone.
Environmental impact
Fewer cars = less pollution, fewer parking spaces needed, fewer resources consumed.
Social connection
Sharing a car creates opportunities for exchange and strengthens solidarity between neighbors.
