Have you considered renting? Depending on the business model, that could be very cheap if it’s just a couple of hours per week.

Renting a car? Oh… You mean like, subscribing? The type of payment model where the consumer always ends up overpaying?

  That’s only a subscription if you keep the car 24/7, it’s a completely different thing if you only rent for a couple of hours per week. Even renting a car for a day (which might be the shortest amount of time you can rent a car in many places) wouldn’t be a subscription.

    The car rental place is further away from me than the grocery store.

  Where I live, the concept is called “car sharing”. There are two small cars just across the street and if I need one, it costs 2,50 € per hour plus maybe 0,30 € per kilometer, fuel included. So if I need to make a weekly grocery run to one of the large stores, it’s probably just a little over 10-12 Euros for three hours all told.
  
  Now, I own a car that’s older and too cheap to not keep it for longer drives when I am seeing my family (roughly an hour each way) at the weekends, but for my day-to-day needs, I probably shouldn’t own one.

  Car2go was such an awesome service. I missed it very much when it went…I don’t know, where did it go?
