I saw a smart car with that logo driving on Denman about a month ago and immediately looked it up. Glad to see it's launching.
I was a Car Co-op (Modo) member for five years but just bought myself a new Mazda 2. For 3-4 days of small trips per week my bills were $300-400 per month, which of course doesn't make it very economical considering the sacrifices (only one car was near me, a shitty old Ford Focus station wagon with dents all over, and it was frequently fully booked). Now I drive to and from work five days a week plus drive on weekends for just a bit more including insurance and gas.
It's great if you don't drive much and plan your trips well in advance, but I can't believe people would pay even more with Zip Car or this.
The one-way option is great, but I'm not sure I'd actually have used it very often.
