Re-thinking urban car journeys

The BBC’s Click Online is running a story about Zipcar, a car sharing outfit in the US. The concept is simple: you reserve, then collect the car from one of the pick-up points spread around the city, your membership card unlocks the vehicle and, from that point on, you only pay for time used and distance covered.

A similar service is available here in Belgium from Cambio. Their offer isn’t as extensive as their US counterparts but remains a very interesting option for people who live in the city and only occasionally need a car.

Has anyone had any experience with Cambio? I’m seriously considering it for some future projects (more on that later...).
