Uber can coordinate your ride home or make your favorite fast food appear at your doorstep. Now, the ride-hailing firm wants to offer drivers a way to rent a car from their neighbor.

Uber is set to bring Uber Carshare to Boston and Toronto in the coming months. The product, which initially launched in Australia, allows people to borrow vehicles from private car owners for a set amount of hours or days.

Carshare’s expansion into the U.S. was one of the new features announced Thursday at Go-Get Zero, a sustainability product event in London that focuses on how Uber is working to fulfill its goal of becoming a zero-emissions platform by 2040.
