Downtown 的朋友可以试一下autoshare (car share)
Downtown 的朋友可以试一下autoshare (car share)autoshare （www.autoshare.com), 在toronto大部分点都在大downtown区的繁华地带，24小时营业，按小时租车，$9.5/小时，半夜以后半价（$4.5/小时），包括车钱，保险，parking,还有油钱，还有其他的会员价格，具体的价格：http://www.autoshare.com/rates.html
租车很方便，加入会员以后，就从网上定车，自己取车， 而且可以开不同种类的车。
这样住在downtown的，平时上下班不需要开车，只是临时需要车的朋友不用买车了。其实，autoshare 最好的地方是给你上保险，给你build up 你的保险纪录，这样将来真正需要车买保险的话，autoshare会给你出insurance history paper,你就不是一个没有任何保险纪录的新手了，能够拿到比较低的保险价格

And, I build an Insurance Record?
Members are considered to have been continually covered by AutoShare’s policy for the purposes of getting personal auto insurance. We can provide you with a Letter of Insurance Coverage from our insurance company certifying your coverage history with AutoShare. This is an important consideration because when a car is given up for a period of time, and later there’s a need to acquire another, insurance coverage is often charged at a higher rate – as if one had never had car insurance.
当然长时间租车，还是普通的租车公司便宜，autoshare 胜在方便，省事，短期租比较便宜，最好的是有保险纪录。
同样的公司还有zipcar, www.zipcar.com, 美国的连锁公司，不用交membership 费，价格贵一点，10.5/小时，没有半夜半价，好像也不能提供保险信（网站上没写，有人说可以， 我问了没回）
两者的比较
