A car sharing station is assigned to a place as a feature when its parking area (or a specially designated parking area anywhere within the property) includes a site for pick-up and drop-off of cars belonging to a car sharing program. These programs typically charge a subscription fee or a usage fee for members or users to pick up cars at will whenever needed, and make them available for other members when not needed.

This reduces wasted investment on automobiles for people who use them less often, while offering greater convenience than car rental services. It also offers many of the advantages of car ownership without responsibility for maintenance.

The designated car-sharing location must lie within the property's parking area or elsewhere on its grounds. The feature identifies that pickup and return facility, rather than ordinary parking spaces used incidentally by shared cars.
