If it was about giving up a car paymetnt, or if I had something really expensive to insure, it might be a sweeter deal, but it seems like if you want a car more than a few times a year it's cheaper to just have your own beater car.
well, that also depends on where you live and how committed you are to making cars your last resort.
I honestly use the flexcar like 2 hours ever other month. that costs me $18. there's no way you could even get gas for a car for a month at that cost, so it works well for me.
