Cohousing-L Mailing List: car sharing

[CAROL AGATE (carolagate]

Does anyone have a community car that everyone shares? If so:

How do you handle the insurance? Is one person the owner who ostensibly just 
allows others to use the car?

Does the community own the car, and, if so, what kind of insurance do you get?

How do you pay for maintenance and insurance?

Does the entire community support the car or only those who use it?

Do people pay for each use?

How do you make sure the tank is kept full?

If it's paid for only by those those who use it, is there a distinction between 
households that have a car and use it as a backup and those who use it as their 
only car?

And any answers you can think of for unasked questions.
