$50 bucks to list your car, then they provide the lease agreement which I suspect adds a %age on top of what the owner wants.

They've got an Elise on there - $300 M-F in Sydney.

Not to mention dozens/hundreds of other messageboards - I guess I've done his work for him here... :rolleyes:

I think this is a very interesting idea... HOWEVER... it has major risks to both parties. Having been in the car rental business for just over a year, I learnt some interesting behaviours that clients exhibit when they rent cars (especially prestige cars which is what I specialise in). The biggest issue there is security bond - people behave very differently with the car when they have  $10,000 on the line (or even $3000 for the "cheap" prestige cars).

Respect for the idea and for getting on ACA!
