In the US I've most often heard the word "carpooling" used for what
you're calling ridesharing: e.g. coworkers that are also neighbors might
share the driving and would probably call that carpooling.
So I got the impression the term "car sharing" was being used on this
list for something like your "bilpool".
And I don't think there's a comparable term for "bildelning".
