TORONTO, June 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Student CarShare today announced a new sponsorship with CIBC, with a shared focus on engaging college and university students across Canada and helping them save money with cost-effective services so they can focus on their studies.

"Student CarShare is Canada's only car-sharing service geared specifically towards the transportation needs of students 18 and older. It's also an innovative lifestyle brand that continually engages with students," says Michael Lende, CEO & Founder, Student CarShare. "We are committed to giving our members access to unique programs and offers that are designed to make their lives easier and more affordable.  Collaborating with CIBC is a prime example of how we focus on building relationships with organizations providing student-centric benefits to their customers and members."

Student CarShare enables students to get where they need to go using environmentally and cost-friendly car share services available on campuses across the country. The service is ideal for students looking to travel home, grocery shop, run errands and attend events or job interviews without the burden of paying $7,000 a year for their own car. Students can join Student CarShare for $75 and receive $25 in free drive time.  They can then rent a car starting at $6 an hour. Every reservation includes free gas, free insurance, free maintenance and free round-the-clock roadside assistance.
