It's not like you could run a background check, insurance check, etc on everyone who would want to borrow you car... I mean, there is probably a good reason why these guys just don't use zip car or conventional rent a car services. Seems like this would be something a little too risky for my taste.

I've been using a car sharing program for years (a competitor to ZipCar here in Chicago) and I'm very happy with this. I think this would be an even better way to be resourceful!

I might try this one also. I have a car that I don't use and it's in very good condition. :) This is an interesting article! I might try this one also.

This seems really interesting and something I would want to consider. At the same time I too am squeamish about allowing someone else to drive even if I was insured. The possibility of down time along with having to deal with the headache of insurance outweighs making a bit of money for me. I think I'll pass for now. -Ravi G. Great article!

Peer-to-peer arrangements (when mortorists rent out their private cars when they are not using them) is another idea that is rising in popularity. Of course, it won't work for everyone but it's worth thinking about as a way to boost income. A poll run earlier this year found 25% of respondents would rent out their car if they were not using it for a weekend.
