They're located all around the city instead of at central rental locations, and you can drop them off anywhere within the zone.
The huge difference though is that you only use them for as long as you need. I would never rent a car to go to a one hour meeting, but I would do that with a CarShare. The "flex" cars make it easier because you don't have to specify an end time when you book the car. With the "fixed" cars you have to say something like, "I want it from 2 to 4 on Tuesday", but I definitely had a few times where meetings went long or there was traffic and it was stressful getting it back in time.

There's a fleet fuel card in each car and you're responsible for ensuring it's returned with at least half a tank.
CarShare does the regular maintenance like oil changes, fluid top-ups, cleaning, and swapping out summer tires for winter.
