Is ride sharing really more financially beneficial than owning your own car?

[King Belieal]

Some people say that they use ride sharing to serve money. And that it is more financially beneficial than having to own your own car. In what way can you save money when you share a ride that it trumps owning a car?

In general, if we use ride sharing, it will save money than having our own car, but out there many people who prioritize comfort and privacy, and can go wherever they want, so it would be better to choose a private car.

Ride sharing can help you save more as you don't have to worry about fueling the car or maintaining it from time to time, but at the end of the day it is always better to have your personal car as it gives you privacy and comfort.

I think ride sharing is ideal for a person on an average income than having to own and maintain a car.

While ride-sharing can be convenient and potentially cheaper for occasional travel, owning a car offers long-term flexibility and ownership benefits that can outweigh the cost for frequent travelers.

Some people prefer ride-sharing over owning a car because it saves money on fuel, tolls, and maintenance. Maintaining a car is expensive, especially these days.

Just one repair in a car would completely paralyze someone that owns a car and is not financially grounded.

Owning a car here is expensive. License fee, maintenance cost and fueling are also expensive. Only the middle class or above can afford to own a car.

Ride-sharing can be more financially beneficial than owning a car for some individuals, particularly those with infrequent or short trips.
