Car Shares Options

[Hartmann]

While I was in San Francisco I noticed a few different car sharing services, ZipCars and Flexcar. After looking them up it seems pretty cool and a good idea. If I was living there, I probably would not want to own a car so they have shared cars, that you get a little card for and can use as they are left at specific places across the city.

Just thought it was a neat way with people only needing cars on certain days or for only a few hours at a time.

Thoughts? Anyone seen anything like this elsewhere?

i'm not really certain where i see the benefit of something like this... depending on how much it costs i guess. i'd be pretty pissed if i drove my shared car somewhere, went into a store for 5 mins, then came out and it was gone. just seems like it wouldn't be too reliable.

Members have keycards to access the cars and the only work during the time that they have the car reserved. Thus another person can't nab the car while you have it checked out.
