Zipcar Is On The Move

Are you in the market for part of a car or need occasional use of a car, but don’t think your friends will stay friends if you ask them to borrow their car again for the day? Then you might be the perfect candidate for zipcar.

The zipcar rental model is cunningly simple, and while they are not in all major markets yet, that is quickly changing. You have to join their program, but as a member they make getting your hands on the steering wheel fast and easy. It is almost the perfect utlity model for car rental - just pay for what you use.

Of course you can join zipcar for all the reasons you can imagine needing a car on a temporary basis - weekend drive to the coast, travel to a wedding, as a getaway car, for a job interview or for wooing your date (the ladies do not think riding halfsies on a banana seat is cool.)

And if you are into green, you will really feel good because you will have more of it in your pocket (vs. owning a car) and because you are allowing more of it grow on trees. Now if you are in the market for that new Hummer, but want to wait until GM get’s everything sorted out and you need to know who the new owner is, then zipcar is good interim solution too.

I could go on and on about zipcar, but their website does a great job of saying it all - visit www.zipcar.com.
