I recommend weekend car rentals. If each trip cost you $145, you could take 20 trips before it would equal the cost of your car's maintenance/gas/insurance. Right now a 2-day weekend Hertz rental in Conshohocken is $60 including taxes and fees (but not insurance). Definitely cheaper than car-sharing, where you pay more to use it for less time. A good credit card will cover Collision Damage (though you may need to shove a copy of the card's rental coverage in the face of the rental sales associate as they may try to claim it isn't covered). You can pay the minimum liability insurance, or you can get a "non-owner liability insurance policy" which will cover you for the year, saving you money if you rent frequently. Personal accident insurance is optional and may be covered by your health insurance.
