There is a new law which was passed this year in California which allows private parties to legally rent their cars.

AB 1871 Assembly Bill - CHAPTERED
From here:
But Assembly Bill 1871, which Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law two weeks ago, reclassifies car-sharing for cash as a non-commercial use of one’s car—as long as the annual earnings from this practice do not exceed the cost of owning and operating the vehicle.
Under the new law, a person may offer his car through a formal car-sharing service (like the for-profit ZipCar or the nonprofit City CarShare) and still remain covered by his personal car insurance. The solution is surprisingly simple: when the car is being driven by a car-share renter, the burden of liability insurance shifts to the driver.

Yeah that is definitely where things go into a legal gray area. Of course, with the current IRS mileage rate at $0.555/mile (adds up quickly), plus his insurance, payments, finance costs, etc., he would have a case if he kept things reasonable. I bet it costs a lot to share one's car, or it would seem to cost a lot when presented in front of a judge.
