<p>A bit of a bump here, as I did a fresh search and found that Relay Rides is operational in Chicago. If anyone is interested in renting a beat up 2001 Sentra for real cheap, maybe it will be up here one day!</p>

Thanks, Howard.<br />
<br />
I absolutely want a bike trailer. I have been mulling different homemade designs in my head for a while now. The problem is I have very limited storage (read: none) in my condo. I do have an empty parking space now. I've imagined putting/building a shed in the parking space and using that as a storage locker. Something tells me the condo assoc. or the city might object, though.<br />

I think they have a few trucks, though they make up a very small percentage of their overall fleet.<br />

You have to declare the driver(s) on the policy. In fact if you have a driving age child/adult living in you house (even if he dosen't drive) he has to declared and your policy is adjusted accordingly. You might get by with the insurance paying for an accident if you "lent" the car out ot a "friend" but you will be liable and get hit with the premium increase or get dropped.<br />

Personally i feel if you're not really using your car regularly, sell it, get out from the insurance, registration fees and upkeep and go with Zip car or I-go. It's cheaper in the long run.<br />

Trying to mickey mouse a car share program with friends will only lead to trouble & lost friends.
