I tried this scheme last year as a second car alternative.
I cannot recommend it. Why? because there are no one-way journeys allowed so 99% of intended journeys are useless for this scheme.
If you don't have a car and need it to pick stuff up then great or do little day trips, knock yourself out. Otherwise it is a waste of time. Great idea but it needs more work. Until then take a taxi. It is NOT the car equivalent of a bixi which is what they misled me to believe (OK misled is strong, but they are not overly explicit that the car has to return to start point).
I have other gripes but that is the main one. other similar schemes in other countries can manage to redistribute the car fleet throughout the day I don't know why these lot can't.
