I have a hearty chuckle whenever anyone touts car-sharing as a viable alternative to car ownership.

When you don't own it, you won't give a shit about it. Now multiply that by the 200 people renting the car before you.

At least PHV drivers have to maintain the car somewhat because they risk their lives in that same car every day. Grab >>>>> car-sharing.

I read and watched documentaries detailing horror stories about the condition of car sharing vehicles. Hirers are selfish by nature since they don't own these cars. Drivers taking over such cars shared about wiping the steering wheel, dashboard and seats using light coloured cloth that turned black. Litter such as wrappers, paper, crumbs, food waste as well as sand, m&d and pet fur are routinely left behind by previous hirers/passengers.

Some BlueSG users shared that the company’s charge-per-minute model causes many hirers to become more accident-prone. When they are driving BlueSG, hirers would be thinking of speeding to their destination and returning the car as quickly as they are able to.

In the event of accidents, car-sharing becomes a costly affair because of an accident insurance clause that dictates excess fees. An excess on an insurance policy is the amount the hirer must pay towards the cost of a claim. After an accident with a 3rd party, car-sharing users are liable for 2 excess fees for their rented car and the 3rd-party claim.

I heard that some hirers noticed cockroaches and ants in rental cars. Other items found include condoms, dog fur on the seats and the usual litter. Hirers advise other users to always bring wet wipes, sanitiser, car fragrance and trash bags when taking over a vehicle.

CNA Talking Point host Steven Chia tried car-sharing for a week and began every drive by wiping the car down which inevitably resulted in his wet wipes turning black. A dusty dashboard, food stains, a car smelling of cigarette smoke etc. made him nauseous. Is it any wonder that those who can afford to, will buy their own car?
