Would You Rent Your Car to a Neighbor? RelayRides Offers Rentals from Local Car Owners [Video]

If you need a car for the weekend, a car rental service called RelayRides can match you with a car owner in your neighborhood. This must be an East Coast thing, because some people (namely Southern Californians) would rather die than give up their cars.

If you need a car for the weekend, a car rental service called RelayRides can match you with a car owner in your neighborhood. This must be an East Coast thing, because some people (namely Southern Californians) would rather die than give up their cars.


But in areas with better public transportation, many cars sit idle in the garage for most of the week while their owners take the train to work. For those people, the service is a chance to make some extra income from their cars to cover the cost of ownership.

RelayRides is similar to a vacation rental service like Airbnb.
