I didn't know that DriveFlow exists but it's exactly what I've been looking for in a service to replace car ownership:

-No manufacturer lock-in (different manufacturers excel at different things)

-No maintenance burden

-No long/medium term commitment to a single vehicle (maybe I want a minivan for a long summer roadtrip but not all summer or all year)

... but the cost is truly eye-watering.

I had my first kid last year so I got a more family-friendly car than the little coupe I'd been driving. I struggled to decide between a midsize sedan (cheaper, more fun to drive, easier to park, suitable for 95% of the family's driving tasks) or a larger SUV (generally worse, but suitable for 100% of the family's driving tasks).

This would have solved the dilemma for me ... except I think I could just own a decent midsize sedan AND a decent larger SUV for $900 or more per month.
