RelayRides

Now you can experience a car like a beach house — enjoy it in short bursts while someone else foots the cost of ownership. And for less money than a rental car.

RelayRides is like Airbnb for cars: owners list their vehicles and set rates, and renters rent at their convenience.

I spent a weekend in a Porsche at home, a day with a Mustang convertible in Honolulu for 1/5^th of Enterprise’s rate, and even rented a beater SUV for $25 a day to help with a move — all with friendly owners. RelayRides is available for iPhone, Android and at www.relayrides.com.
