What kind of dumb shit is this? Saw the commercial, went to the website to see what it was about.
It's a rental car for $69 a day.  Who the hell would buy into that shit?

Quoted:
You can rent by the hour with convenient pick up and drop off locations. Probably makes sense for people living in or traveling frequently in cities. I've never needed a car for an hour or two, just rent a car for a day for under $50 and call it good. Hell, they'll even bring the car to you. I guess there are people who only need a car for an hour, or the place wouldn't exist...

You asked who would buy into it and the fact is there's a lot of people for whom it's a good deal. It's also turn-key, including gas, the bane of the rental car experience. Well, one of them anyway. |

Its also done here in Columbus. I'm not sure how popular it is. |

It's cool if it works for people, I just don't get it. When I travel, I rent a car...I don't like to wait for a taxi and don't want to look for a car. |

They are all over the DC area. |
