English translation:sharing a car
Explanation:
Hvis der er tale om et par familier eller tre i nabolaget som privat deler en bil, vil jeg foreslå en lettere omskrivning:

~ car pooling


Explanation:
Judging from your context, the nature of the scheme seems less important than the overall notion that these people (presumably rich people) own their own vehicles and can afford to drive them.

In Denmark, if you can't afford a car, you car share. In the US, you car pool.

neutral  F Schultze (X): Hej Mads, jeg var tæt på at sige det samme, men jeg synes at for at udgøre en pool må der være flere af dem (bilerne). Firmaet har 5 biler i en pool som de 10 medarbejdere er fælles om. Forældrene har lavet en pool og skiftes til at køre børnene i skole.
