I really feel that if a business like this is going to succeed it has to be backed by a car manufacturer. I just don't see how a private enterprise can make money considering the high overhead cost of vehicle purchases/leasing, vehicle maintenance, insurance, fuel costs, parking, etc. At least with an automaker involved you could reduce the vehicle and maintenance costs significantly.
