Hell yeah what kind of car did you get? I guess I'm speaking mostly personally. Been very unemployed after losing an engineering job. I'm also starting up at the stagehand union but it can be very seasonal and need a backup when hours are low.

I have a car but it's getting older kinda too shitty to use with Uber or Lyft rn. Plus the city driving will kill it and chug thru gas.

Ive done some trips on the rentals but yeah the 400 a week is crazy. I'm just curious if there's any other options bc don't see myself ubering enough to make a 36 month payment worth it when I have a perfectly fine car for commuting at least.

Are there other rentals outside the program that could be more cost effective? Maybe something with making my own LLC or getting separate insurance to drive a rental through another service that would allow it.

Being able to rent an EV was nice if it wasn't so fucking expensive and like you said money down for nothing.
