The service is meant to cater to on-demand drivers who do not have regular access to a vehicle or simply want to avoid adding additional miles to their own vehicle. Evercar is operated by a Los Angeles-based company called 'Vision Fleet,' which operates the largest public fleet of electric vehicles in the US. With the new service in place, on-demand drivers working for companies such as Uber, Lyft, Postmates or Instacart can rent out an electric vehicle to use for ride-sharing purposes. For just $5 per house, drivers will receive vehicle access, unlimited miles, electricity insurance, parking, cleaning and other maintenance. With the growth of ride-share services and the increasing demand for greener forms of transportation, Evercar demonstrates the future of car rental services. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Electric Vehicle Rental:** The growing demand for sustainable transportation and ride-sharing services presents an opportunity for car rental companies to focus on electric vehicle rental services. - **On-demand Driver Services:** As more people turn to on-demand driver services, there is an opportunity for rental companies to provide affordable, flexible options for those who do not own their own vehicles. - **Sustainability-focused Car Rental:** With the increase in environmentally-conscious consumers, there is a disruptive opportunity for car rental companies to shift to a more sustainability-focused model with electric vehicles and eco-friendly operational practices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Ride-sharing:** The rise of ride-sharing companies, such as Uber and Lyft, has created a demand for affordable, flexible transportation options, presenting an opportunity for rental services like Evercar to target these drivers. - **Car Rental:** The car rental industry can benefit from the growth of the on-demand driver market and rise of electric vehicles, providing affordable, flexible rental options for those who do not own their own cars. - **Electric Vehicles:** As more people become environmentally-conscious, there is a growing demand for electric vehicles, as well as related services and infrastructure, presenting an opportunity for companies like Evercar to continue expanding their electric vehicle rental services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rideshare-Targeted Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrival-car.md) - [Electric Ride Share Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-electric.md) - [Electric Rental Car Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hertz.md) - [Electric Car Subscription Plans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolve-subscription-plan.md) - [Car Rental Expanses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-rent.md) - [Electric Car-Sharing Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-carsharing-program.md) - [Affordable Bike-Leasing Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rydeev.md) - [On-Demand EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evcharging-service.md) - [Electric Earning Incentives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-earning-incentive.md)
