Sharing and Hiring Services

Roaming / full-service interface for car sharing

Independent and standardized data interface for interoperable car sharing. Enables car sharing operators to network with each other, even if different telematics and booking software is used.
Also enables connection for pure mobility providers without their own fleet - MaaS.

The interface is typically implemented by the software provider in its product (telematics and booking system, apps) - the service is thus available to the operators using this software.

In addition to the technical interface, carsharing.link offers an organizational framework with which fleet operators can market their mobility offers in a coordinated manner to mobility providers.

Refactoring took place in the 2023 project year. Feedback from booking software providers and international aspects were incorporated.

The roaming network is currently undergoing an extended field test in the Upper Austrian central region.
Roll-out and application throughout Austria is planned for 2024.
