Just signed up for Car2Go.com in Vancouver, which launched here this month and offers one-way rentals.

Their model is per-minute pricing with an hourly cap.

You "return" it by parking it anywhere within a huge area (several square miles) that effectively makes up anywhere you'd be car-sharing anyways (living outside this area means you'd be pretty likely to own a car).

You find a car to rent with their android or iphone app, website, or by calling their 24/7 phone number. All cars are tracked using GPS.

Pretty sweet model that is a good substitute for taxis, assuming the car supply keeps up with consumer demand.
