Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Vehicle Sharing

[BSteph (BSteph]

I shared my car with a friend/coworker of mine on an as-needed basis. I 
rented it to him for the going federal government auto wear and tear 
reimbursement rate...at the time I think it was .24 per mile. It's higher 
now. I figured that covered everything else. I continued to carry the 
insurance and handle all repairs. The other party would wash it sometimes. 
Collecting the money was a hassle sometimes. My goal was to keep it simple. 
Verbal agreement only. Lived in San Francisco at the time. I would do it 
again, but next time make sure I didn't need to remind the "renter" to pay 
me. 

Let me know what you work out, as I think this is a great solution to many 
challenges.
