Car2go a Smart idea

Pay as you go car sharing

Daimler has picked Austin, TX as the first US city to try its Car2go pay-as-you-go city transportation program.

Under Car2go, much like Parisian Velib program, participants simply grab a car when they need and leave it wherever they are when they don't need it - within a certain geographical area. Membership is free and the cost is just 19 cents per minute. (For more click here).

Now, that's a Smart idea.

Forget buying, share a hybrid

Hybrid car sharing

WeCar, is the new car sharing division of Enterprise. It doesn't reinvent car sharing, although it does use only hybrid cars in its fleet, which is pretty cool. Still, this whole car sharing thing really has me intrigued.

Finish: Don't buy a hybrid. Share a hybrid
