How's PCS working for you? I'm debating just keeping the insurance check and signing up. Do you ever have any difficulty getting a car when you need one? While I didn't use my car much during the week, I still like the freedom that having one affords you.

I love it. Don't need a car during the week, when I do, grab one from there. No problems getting a car. Used to be tough last minute on weekends a couple years ago on occasion, but they've greatly expanded the fleet. I do also have a motorcycle so that helps as well as I use that for most trips out of town. Will also rent a car occassionally when needed for the weekend. But overall, much less stress, and much cheaper.

You don't need to keep your insurance. They cover you for $1million in liability, and if you ever do buy a car again, you won't have to go on assigned risk insurance. By virtue of being a PCS member, it's the same as having insurance so there won't have been a gap in coverage.

Search the board, tons of posts about people's opinions on PCS and FlexCar, a similar (yet less prolific and more pricey) option.

Bottom line, I feel like I have MORE freedom not having to worry about car payments, insurance payments, maintenance, washing, parking, thieves, vandals, etc...

They just dropped the prices too. If you take the free membership, it's $5/hour weekdays, $7 weekends. Or if you pay $15/month, it's $2 cheaper for either.

If you private message me your email address, I can send you a referral and we'll split a $50 credit if you sign up and use it.

the same thing happened to me, except my car was lost. i was parked on 16th st, in a legal spot when my car was " moved ", i was told it was moved to the 18th hundred blovk of fairmount ave, which it wasn't. after an exhaustive swearch i found the car on vinyard st., south of girard, with a broken window, i love this city and this area but how much can anyone take?

"Sunday night, I park my car on Brandywine right behind Masterman (between 17th and the lot entrance). Sometime on Monday, they put up No Parking signs for the rest of the week. "

Nope, the signs were there BEFORE Monday. I know because I live
in Colonnade and I know I saw them there last weekend.

I'm sorry you car was towed, though!
