Car sharing in Orenburg is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to personal cars and taxis. The city with a population of more than 550 thousand people and developed infrastructure has become an attractive market for federal operators: they work here BelkaCar, Delimobil and Yandex.Drive. Unlike classic rentals, car sharing offers flexible conditions - from per-minute payment to daily rates, and parking lots with cars are located within walking distance from key points of the city.
