YourDrive is a New Zealand peer-to-peer carsharing company. It facilitates a system in which individuals may rent their privately owned vehicles on an hourly, daily or weekly basis to other registered users of the service.[2] Owners set their rental prices and earn a 60 percent commission from the rental revenue.[3] It currently operates in throughout New Zealand with vehicles in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin.

Peer-to-peer carsharing is an example of collaborative consumption, where assets and skills are shared or traded between neighbours for sustainability and economic benefit.[4] Although car sharing is relatively new in New Zealand it is an area that is being encouraged due to the environmental and economic benefits.[5] Auckland Transport is promoting a scheme that would drastically increase the number of car sharing vehicles.[6]
