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.
