Times Car Sharing Service Reaches 4 Million Members

Times Mobility Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has proudly announced that its car-sharing service, Times Car, has surpassed the impressive milestone of 4 million members. To commemorate this achievement, the company will launch a special campaign from September 1 to October 31, offering exciting rewards and appreciating the loyal customers of Times Car.

Times Car operates on the principles of being “convenient,” “affordable,” and “easy to use,” allowing customers to rent vehicles anytime they need them, 24/7 throughout the year. Since its inception in 2009 with only 45 vehicles and 17 stations serving 860 members, the service has significantly expanded, utilizing the facilities of Times 24 Co., Ltd.’s parking network to become the first car-sharing service in Japan with operations in all 47 prefectures by 2017.

Today, Times Car boasts over 68,000 vehicles and more than 29,000 stations nationwide, continuing to grow its service network. The convenience of 24-hour accessibility combined with a pay-per-use system without the burden of maintenance costs has made Times Car a popular choice for many users requiring flexible transportation.

The Times Car app has also undergone significant upgrades, streamlining features such as vehicle reservations, extending rental periods, and unlocking car doors. Moreover, the introduction of synergy between train travel and car-sharing provides discounts when using transportation cards, further improving service accessibility.

Reflecting on this journey, Times Car saw its member base grow from 1 million in 2018 to 2 million in 2022 and is now celebrating 4 million members, a testament to the efficient service and community support.
