Competitors like ZipCar and Car2Go are doing well in other urban centers, and San Francisco is just likely the wrong place to offer the service given parking regulations.

DriveNow, the car-sharing program owned by BMW that allows drivers to rent electric cars by the minute, is pulling out of San Francisco, the only U.S. city in which it operates, the company said Monday.

Because of problems with “parking permit regulations,” DriveNow said in a post on its website, the company plans to suspend service in San Francisco on Nov. 2 and focus instead on other U.S. cities.

“We fully expect to return once the city reforms its parking policies to allow for one-way car sharing,” DriveNow said. “We will continue to work with the city of San Francisco toward achieving that goal.”
