Why own when you can share

Rated this place:

I pretty much assumed that as long as I lived in Toronto, I would never actually own a car. The costs of insurance, parking and maintenance seem overwhelming considering how infrequently I'd use it. However, those times when you actually can't do something on the TTC or on a bicycle, having access to a vehicle at a reasonable price can truly be a lifesaver.

Being able to buy furniture, help friends move and go on day trips is terrific, and as a musician who occasionally plays out of town shows, being able to get a vehicle to get there with the gear is absolutely invaluable.

There are tonnes of convenient locations, rates are reasonable for a couple of hours or for the whole weekend. Great alternative to owning a car.

Now I can live out all my road-tripping and large-item hauling dreams on a part-time, economical, relatively green basis. Living downtown, I prefer cycling and TTCing it where possible, but here and there, a girl needs a car or van, and Autoshare makes that possible on an hourly or daily basis, keeping hundreds of new vehicles parked around the city for easy and immediate access by members, around the clock. It's super convenient, and a great alternative to owning a car.

It's locally owned, the cars are always in good condition and in convenient locations. I have about 10 of them within a 10 minute walk. Rates are reasonable for that afternoon trip to the supermarket or wherever.
