Free2Move Car Sharing

This is a relatively new service, but seems my neighbors use it and there are always a few cars available near the apartment building. Seems like a good option if you are staying more than a week and need backup in case need to hop to grocery store or something. Registration is free, but it may take a couple of days to get approved so register early to get your approvals before you arrive.

Im told this and the Bar next door "Trusty's" are good local bars. Dive bar atmosphere but don't be deceived. Its right near the Potomac Ave Metro Station and perceivably walkable away if the weather's nice.
