As I write the check to my auto insurance company, I think about how nice it would be to give up my car altogether. No more insurance, no more maintenance, no more gasoline. Right now, my car is a money sink, because I rarely use it. I would live car free if it weren't for one thing. Occasionally I have to move a couple hundred pounds of bulky equipment.

Do y'all living car free just rent autos when the need arises? How do you get the vehicles? I've thought about biking to the rental place with a trunk rack harnassed to my back. Have any of you done this?
