Public transit is not an option for every commuter. Driving can take a mental toll - and definitely a financial one.
That's where Commute With Enterprise comes in. Those with coworkers in the same area can use one of their cars as a vanpool. Five or more commuters split the fuel costs and maintenance.
“The average cost savings on an annual basis, I would say in this market, is anywhere between $7,000-$8,000 per person," said commute sales executive Kate Cowperthwait.
Enterprise says an average monthly rate in the NJ-NYC market is just under $1,700. The cost depends on the commute distance, vehicle type and number of users. There are also state subsidies - NJ Transit offers a $400 per month benefit to eligible vanpools.
The commuters take turns driving. The primary account holder can bring the car home. The fleet includes minivans, SUVs and 15-passenger vans. Large employers like Princeton University, Picatinny Arsenal and Merck are among those using "Commute With Enterprise."
