What is Rideshare Star?

The Rideshare Star carshare program is a group discount program created for drivers who need access to personal transportation for work. Rideshare Star shares a small fleet of vehicles and connects its members to a wide range of discounted auto services including regular maintenance, auto body repair, roadside assistance, car electronics installation, car detailing, gas, tolls, and more. In addition, after six months of good standing in the program, members become eligible to purchase their borrowed vehicle from the carshare at below Kelley Blue Book pricing. Stay tuned for new developments throughout 2022—we have an exciting year ahead!
