Whoa... wait a minute... what do you mean by "another C2G"?? Do you mean you need two separate cars to make one grocery run? Why on earth would that be?? As to the pricing not being comparable to legacy car rentals I disagree. A car rental is a car rental. If Enterprise can rent an economy sedan for $27/dy ($9.99/dy!! on weekends). Without an inititiation fee and yearly subscription then the hourly rental model is the one that needs review. As for the insurance and gas rolled in. Nice bit of social engineering there. Pitch it as a positive and watch people defend what amounts to upsell on the part of C2G. I'll bet good money I can find gas cheaper than their "market rate". Third party insurance as well. Or no insurance if I choose to risk it.
