Uber’s new car-sharing service in Paris

In Paris, France US company Uber has launched UberPOP, a car-sharing service allowing private citizens who share their cars to be paid. The average price of the service is €12, from which the company takes a small commission. Candidates must have an at least three-year-old driving permit. Income from car-sharing will be declared to tax authorities. Drivers and clients are put in touch through a mobile application. UberPOP already offers in France car services with drivers, but Paris is the first city outside the US to offer the new UberPOP service, which competes with Jump.in, Heetch, BlaBlaCar and Drivy.
