    Where I’m at, you join the coop, and then there are cars all around town. You can rent any of the vehicles for as much time as you want (specific return times or open ended) and insurance and gas is included. Some let you leave them anywhere in town, some you have to return the vehicle to the same spot at the end.

    Super handy if you don’t need a vehicle often, or if you need a different class vehicle than what you have (e.g renting a truck to do a move or bring something large home)

    It’s really affordable.

      I’m in one of these co-ops. Mine, you have to return the car to the same spot. You pay per 15-minute increment up to a daily cap. There’s also a fee per km driven. OTOH the car share handles the insurance, maintenance, cleaning, and even gas (there’s a fleet card in each car). It’s significantly cheaper than owning when you use a car maybe three times a month.
