Check out Fair.com also; Los Angeles only right now but also offers no-term flexibility. There is a 'start payment' but all said and done, Fair may be cheaper than this depending on how long you keep the car.

How does Fair compare to Turo?

[shaanr]

Turo is great for extremely short term rentals (days to a few weeks). Fair makes more sense for monthly to yearly relationships.

Would love to hear feedback if you've played with the app! (username @fair.com)

Turo is a short term car rental marketplace. Fair is a flexible "long-term" car leasing service. They have two different business models and are serving two different problems.

[tedmiston]

Ostensibly true but what you wrote glosses over all of the interesting details because the services are not that black and white. I'm more interested in the areas where they overlap — the gray area between renting and leasing. Use cases like getting a car for a few days per month or just a month or two, where services like Zipcar are also competitors. Fair's marketing claims "pay as you go, walk away at any time" in the App Store description which suggests to me it is possible to "own" a car off Fair for a month or two.

You're correct, @tedmiston. With Fair, you can return your car anytime (with a 5 day notice). So, you could keep the car for 1mo, 7 weeks etc. Fair will pro-rate the last month. Fair probably doesn't make sense for folks who just need a car for a few days. Happy to field more questions here (or email me: username @fair.com)

By the way, with my referral code (SHAANR100) you can save $1,000 off the start payment until 10/31/17.

Thanks, that was very helpful. Is there a minimum period of time for keeping the car — one month?

[shaanr]

There are no minimums. We just needs a five day notice (maybe that's technically the minimum?).
