People's Car Co-op

[c9]

Despite sounding vaguely Socialist (the great Red Menace awakens!!), the idea of Car Co-ops seems to be catching on in many areas (thanks for the reminder, skaughty!). KW has one, and it sounds like a really good deal. The only down side is the lack of guaranteed access (i.e. if I suddenly need a car, they might already be booked). But otherwise, it seems really cool: no paying for gas, no paying for insurance, no paying for maintenance, repairs, or even freakin' carwashes.

Does anybody have any car-share experiences, good or bad, they can share?

Sorry, I mean a lot MORE hassle, as the friends went with Enterprise.

Yes, Vinny pointed out that they include insurance-per-day in their comparisons. Our visas currently include coverage, making the difference far smaller in most cases. Ah well, just another option in a veritable small lake of them.
