There's nothing inherently wrong with a single-member LLC. The only issue with it is it's a relatively new entity and the body of legal precedents is not large, so it's hard to predict how a court would rule in any particular case.
Instead, you could use an S-corporation with the same result, but much better legal visibility.
The issue is, however, that you're now operating your own rental company. You'd need to capitalize it, buy commercial insurance, purchase various licenses, etc. This is probably not what clients of RelayRides had in mind.

- kalininalex 14y agoSetting up a company to shield one's assets is perfectly lawful. In fact, many entities out there exist for this very purpose. However, to accomplish it, one must follow certain rules. Simply filing the paperwork is not sufficient. The intent is not important. Either the entity is properly setup and run and shields personal assets, or it's not.
