As I understand it, that involves no test drive until the purchase is agreed but no obligation to buy if the vehicle is not as described? Given the extensive description, the buyer invariably goes through with the purchase and all are happy.
I get that but what I'm after is, as Mark101 put it, an Everyman type deal for older cars. If you want to try but not necessarily buy, there appears to be nothing in that space.
As to the potential costs, the same criticisms were levelled at AirBnB: what if the renter trashes my home? What if it costs more to clean than the rent? etc. The basic model was based on the idea that an asset is wasted when not in use. Why not put the stock to use?
Yep, probably still a crap idea but folk are hiring private cars through Turo and you folk have more diverse stock than that plus business facilities.
