CarShare

Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) is working closely with CarShareHFX to offer our departments another transportation option that is easy on the budget and good for the environment.

CarShareHFX is Halifax’s first car sharing service offering a network of vehicles located throughout HRM available for an hourly rental of $2.25 + $0.23 per kilometre including the cost of gas and MacPass.

Advantages of CarShare

CarShareHFX provides a cost-effective transportation alternative to using personal cars or taxis for some trips. In some cases, using CarShare can save your department up to half the price of a taxi.

Example

Victoria General Hospital to Dartmouth General for a one hour meeting.

  • Taxi - Approximately $50 return
  • CarShareHFX - two hours rental (1 hour meeting + 1 hour travel) + 20 kilometres = $9.90

Signing up for CarShare

For each NSHA department that enrolls in CarShareHFX, there is an annual departmental membership of $200. There is also a one-time non-refundable driver application fee of $35 per driver. Your department will receive a statement each month based on your team’s usage of CarShare. Your statement will show by driver when the car was used, the distance traveled, what it was used for and the fee.

All NSHA cost centre managers are already approved for up to $5,000 per year for CarShareHFX.
