 Hire the car next door - Iffy
This website allows motorists to offer their car for hire to other private individuals.

www.whipcar.com/

It's been operating in London for about a year, and has recently expanded nationwide.

Anyone tried it - either as a hirer or as a supplier?

And is the service likely to succeed, or will it be another internet flash in the pan?

 Hire the car next door - Bill Payer
Very interesting - not seen that before.

It's often struck me as a shame that most of the cars in our village seem to sit there all day unused. However I can't see many people being happy about handing their car over to a random person. I don't even like my wife driving mine!

Thats where most cars spend the majority of their time. The driveway ornament status symbol. :-)
