Flightcar sounds like a tough call...a lot of moving parts to save a few bucks on parking and/or car rental and with added anxiety for both parties.

Silvercar sounds more like how renting a car should be (except for the limited car options)(I'd go with a Toyota/VW lineup).

The things that are completely stupid with current car rental companies: 1) lengthy checkout process, 2) inability to choose car and 3) anti-customer gas policies.

I suggest you patronize different car rental companies. Discount car rental companies skimp on the service and choices. Better ones (Enterprise, Hertz) focus on the service and only cost a dollar or two more a day than the discounters.

The more expensive agencies are routinely double the price. And I'm not sure they fare much better on the points I mentioned.
