Latest Trend: The Newest Alternative To Renting A Vehicle Pays The Customer


ZipCar, a rental car service by the hour, was one of the first to go after the typical rental car businesses. There is a new kid in town testing the waters, a new car-sharing program. Unlike the typical rental car service, customers can actually make money, according to this article that recently appeared in the Detroit News. 

When you go on a trip via airplane, chances are good that your car sits at home or in an expensive airport parking lot while you are away.

Wouldn’t it be great if that car could earn money while you are gone, or at least not generate parking expenses?

Now it can. Car-sharing services FlightCar and RelayRides have jumped into one of the rental car industry’s hottest markets: the nation’s airports
.
FlightCar bills itself as the first car-sharing company to “help consumers deal with the high expense and hassles of getting to and from the airport and figuring out what to do with their cars while they’re away on a trip.” Instead of renting a new car from a traditional rental agency, travelers can rent someone else’s car in what’s known as “peer-to-peer” renting.


FlightCar operates near San Francisco International Airport and Boston’s Logan Airport. To continue reading, click here.
