This article examines issues of civil liability arising from road traffic accidents involving carsharing vehicles. An analysis of carsharing accident statistics demonstrates an increased level of risk as compared to privately owned vehicles. The study focuses on determining the legal nature of the carsharing agreement, considering its classification as a bareboat charter, a mixed contract, or a new type of lease. The author concludes that the rules governing the bareboat charter of a vehicle should be applied and emphasizes the voluntary assumption of risks by carsharing users.
