I can get a car from AVIS for $30 to $40 CAD per day (not including gas: typically that is another $10-12 or so).
I have a membership in a car share, but I rarely bother with it for the above reason.
For an hour or two or something, it's good.
Most recently used it for trips to emergency. I mean, the co-op car is out there on the street, walking distance, whereas you need a reservation for the rental car, can only get it during the opening hours, from an outfit that is several miles away.
Yet, there is no guarantee that the share cars will be there for emergencies; it's just luck. If it's 3 a.m. the odds are excellent. 3 p.m. on a Saturday; not so good.
