It’s never been easier to be carless in the city. Not because of a boom in public transit, but because of car-sharing services, which make owning a vehicle akin to paying for a nanny instead of hiring the occasional babysitter.
So begins my review of four car-sharing services for Wired Magazine (October 2011). I tested Zipcar and the non-profit City CarShare, plus two P2P services, RelayRides and Getaround, on the streets of San Francisco. I checked out their insurance policies, mobile apps, application processes, websites, prices, availability, and more. For the full rundown and scores, head on over to Wired.
