I am already a City CarShare member; can I join the UCSF plan?


Where are the cars?   BACK TO TOP
City CarShare has hundreds of locations throughout Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, El Cerrito, and Albany, with many pods close to the UCSF Campus. Once you're a member, you can use any car at any location.


How does it work?   BACK TO TOP
In general you drive for $5.50/hour (weekdays)/ $6/hour (weekends 5 p.m. Friday - 8 a.m. Monday) + 35¢/mile). For premium and capacity vehicles, add $2/hour. There is a $25 yearly membership fee for our UCSF plan. You pay no deposit, and no application fee. There is a $30 one-time application fee for each member you add to your account. (UCSF affiliates pay no application fee).


How much does it cost?   BACK TO TOP
Our low standard driving rates apply (typically $5/hour and 40¢/mile). There is a $25 yearly membership fee for our CCSF plan. You pay no deposit, and no application fee.


What if I want to take a long-distance trip?   BACK TO TOP
You have several options with City CarShare. Our Extended Freedom Trips give you the opportunity to take that trip to Santa Cruz without emptying your savings account. Drive up to 24 hours and 200 miles for just $48 (weekdays)/ $52 (weekends 5 p.m. Friday - 8 a.m. Monday) + 10¢/mile (40¢/mile after 200 miles). Add $12 for premium and capacity vehicles. You can even link Extended Freedom Trips together for a weekend away (three day maximum.) To apply an Extended Freedom Trip credit, simply mark how many credits you would like to use when making your reservation.

Another option is to use City CarShare's special discount pricing to rent a car from City Rent-A-Car. For long-term, long-distance trips, car rental is a smart choice and we encourage you to check which option works best for your particular trip. For more information, email us or call 415-995-8588 and press 0 when prompted to speak to a member services associate.


Can I make one-way trips?   BACK TO TOP
No. But you won't have to look for end-of-trip parking because you always have to return the car to its original location at the end of the reservation.


What about parking?   BACK TO TOP
You are responsible for finding your own parking while you are using a City CarShare vehicle. When you return, simply park in the reserved City CarShare parking spot where you picked up the car.


Who is eligible?   BACK TO TOP
Any UCSF students or staff can join the City CarShare UCSF membership plan. When your family members, roommates or significant other joins your household account (each will be charged a $15 application fee unless they are a UCSF affiliate), you will all share the $25 annual membership fee. Each person will get his or her own electronic key fob and member ID but you will get one bill. Members must have at least 2 consecutive years of driving experience. For all of our standard membership requirements, click here.


I am already a City CarShare member; can I join the UCSF plan?   BACK TO TOP
Yes. If you already have a City CarShare account, you can join this plan by emailing us. If you submitted a deposit, we will refund it to you as a credit on your City CarShare bill. Also, we will waive the application fee since you are already signed up.
