I really like FlightCar in theory, but I'd never actually allow my car to be rented to someone I don't know (and even to some people I DO know). I realize they provide wear/tear and mechanical insurance, but I don't think $10/day in gas money is worth the hassle of potentially having to have my clutch repaired or new brake rotors installed for someone who rides both my clutch and brakes. But maybe this is geared more for someone who buys an econobox and doesn't care?

I doubt they'd LET you rent a manual out. Generally rental places only allow automatics. If you have a special car that you love, probably not great. If you're one of the great majority that buys a Civic/Camry/Focus/etc. then it's not like driving your car takes any special skill.

They actually do rent manual cars: I searched a random day in April and 3 of the 10 cars available are manuals (https://flightcar.com/cars/SFO/2013-04-02%2012:00:00/2013-04...). This seems like a great benefit if you're looking to rent a manual car, since car-rental places don't usually offer them.

Huh! Shows I should look before I speak!

That's very cool. I wouldn't rent my manual though, heh.
