In Marumori Town, Miyagi Prefecture, where many cars were damaged by water from Typhoon No. 19, a service to lend cars free of charge to residents began on the 9th.
This service was started by the Japan Car Sharing Association, a general incorporated association, trying to support residents who were unable to use cars due to typhoons, and 13 mini passenger cars were prepared in Marumori-cho as of the morning of the 9th. .
Residents who had booked in advance visited the volunteer center at the reception desk, received instructions on how to operate, and then boarded the rented cars and headed to their homes.
The loan period is until the end of January next year, and it is necessary to make a reservation in advance by telephone or the Internet, and submit a disaster certificate or damage certificate.
A 62-year-old man who rented a car said, “I run a restaurant, but I was in trouble because the car was submerged and could not procure ingredients.
Mr. Takehiko Yoshizawa, representative director of the Japan Car Sharing Association, said, “If you are in trouble because you can't use a car, please let us know that you have this support. I want to go. "
The telephone number for reservations is 080-9631-5286.
