The Carsharing Association welcomes Flexicar from Melbourne, Australia as a member of CSA. Flexicar was launched as an independent by a group of university friends back in 2004 with two vehicles and a spreadsheet for booking system.
In 2010 Hertz acquired Flexicar as part of its carshare growth strategy; despite Hertz announcing a withdrawal from hourly car rentals and the closure of the Hertz 24/7 service in North America in 2015, Flexicar continues to grow and develop in Melbourne and Sydney markets.
With a diversified fleet of 350 vehicles, from Toyota Corollas to SUVs, prestige vehicles and commercial vans, Flexicar continues to provide urban Australians with a cost-effective, green and easy alternative to car ownership as well as dedicated carsharing and mobility solutions to corporate and universities across Australia.
Greg Giraud, General Manager, said: “We are thrilled to join the Carsharing Association. With Flexicar on board all current, on-street, carshare providers in the ANZ region are now affiliated to the CSA. This adds legitimacy to the local carshare industry as we feel it is important to speak with one voice and we look forward to working with the CSA for the betterment and long term sustainability of carshare in the region.”
