I was going to sign up for carshare today,

Has anyone used them, they seem fairly straightforward, i was just wondering if anyone has used them at all.

I have a friend who used it for a short while. Whilst it was great for short journeys and relatively cheap, longer trips were massively expensive and he now uses rental cars when he needs transport.

Mind, this was with Denzel.....

Yeah, this is denzel too, i have a car lined up , but not arriving until sep, so wanted something flexible for the summer.

Doesn't seem tooooo expensive, but its more the flexibility of vehicles that is swaying me, that and there is a place on erdberg too.
Gonna give it a lash anyway, going to sign contract monday.

Signed up for this yesterday, very straighforward.
Buy the years membership, and have access to a range cars/vans for a year, you pay per hour, bigger the car, higher the price, and pay per KM, but this includes petrol. Book the car online and there are loads of pick up points.

They did say that it can be tricky getting the exact car you want on weekends, so book in advance.

They gave me a free trial run yesterday, and ive booked a van for today to move some stuff i need moving, im happy so far.
