    This wouldn't be a bad idea if it was affordable and I could choose the vehicle month to month. Like I don't need a big pick up truck everyday but having one for a month to get the basement or garage cleaned up over the course of a few weekends would be nice.

    From what I've heard, if you're working from home or otherwise not a daily driver carshare services are legitimately a better deal. Get whatever kind of car you need, when you need it, cheaper subscription than owning a car and insurance and upkeep, etc

    This would suit me well. Are there any stand out carshare services I should look in to first?

    Especially community owned ones?
