How do you think rental car companies stay in business? You are still liable for the damage to the car if you blatantly abuse it, and you are still liable for property damage or accidents in states that require insurance and insure the driver.
This is just a car rental for a shorter amount of time. And in D.C. we had something called ZipCar which was pretty close to that.
- hawaiianbrah 8y agoIs ZipCar no longer in DC? They’re in every state I’ve been to. I assume they’re in all of them.
- jimmy1 8y agoAh sorry if it came out that way, it is I that am no longer in D.C.
- newnewpdro 8y agoWhen I was in the bay area zipcars were consistently driven by some of the worst drivers on the road. It's like tourists in rental cars but worse, since these people often have never owned a car and drive very infrequently. I know people who never drove until their 30s then got a drivers license just to access zipcars. They're exceptionally bad drivers.
- jimmy1 8y agoRight but it doesn't matter if they are bad drivers. They are still liable for damages and any accidents they cause. If you get in a wreck/get a ticket in a ZipCar, it is still your insurance that goes up, and points on your license, and you have to pay the ticket.
- newnewpdro 8y agoWhich means nothing to the other drivers and pedestrians sharing space with these hazardous nuisances. Personally I prefer these people use electric scooters than N-thousand-pound >100HP vehicles.
