It was posted by Fred, the Cohousing-L list manager <fholson [at] cohousing.org> -------------------- FORWARDED MESSAGE FOLLOWS -------------------- I'm researching joint car-sharing-ownership in our (quasi-rural) western Massachusetts cohousing community of 32 households, plus renters, plus 5 or 6 associate members living within walking distance. Zipcar exists here in town, but 4 miles away at Amherst College. After perusing the cohousing-L archives on car sharing, last thread one year ago, I'd like to hear if any ideas are currently percolating. I'm interested in this post (from Feb 2010) from Audrey for solving the insurance question: ... At Winslow Cohousing we solved that [insurance] by separating the car sharing from the community. There is an LLC that owns an electric car and soon will also own a pickup truck. the LLC has insurance which isn't that unreasonable (people below a certain age and above a certain age, I think 70, have to pay more) Individuals join the LLC (buy-in), and then share expenses for the car/truck....There is talk about sharing other cars as well, to reduce the entire net ownership of cars in the community... Seems as if the number of cars co-owned depends on the number of people in the car club-corporation. What are your agreements and management systems re membership, cost, scheduling? Your thoughts and ideas? Gracie, from Cherry Hill Cohousing -- Karen Gracie Kowles Secretary, NEASI http://www.kindexing.com 413-549-8088
