Car Sharing Business Model
- Our Strategies and Strengths

Car Sharing Business Model (1) Business model
Car sharing is a business that provides unmanned vehicle rentals to Times CAR members using
vehicles deployed nationwide
Vehicles are deployed to parking spaces nationwide (including Times PARKING) and rented out unattended to Times CAR members
Vehicles are procured by purchasing new cars or through leasing services, and sold into the used car market or returned at end of lease after 4 years (new vehicles are deployed every 4 years)
Users register their driver's license and credit card, etc., to become Times CAR members and reserve/use vehicles via the app or website
Round-trip model (users return vehicles to the location where they were rented)
