Now that my ex-girlfriend and friends who live in the city use Zipcar a lot, I was kind of curious about the service. So I decided to take a chance and give it a test run.First, you apply online and once your application is approved, you are sent a Zipcard which gives you access to Zipcar vehicles all over the world. You can then reserve or book a Zipcar for as short as one hour or as long as seven days depending on your needs
When you need to use the car, you just hold your Zipcard to the windshield of the car and it will unlock the car. It’s just as easy to return the car. All you have to do is, park it in its reserved spot then using your Zipcard or your app, you lock it up! This is awesome, don’t you think?
It isn’t just the car-sharing service provided by Zipcar that’s mind-blowing; it is also the finesse with which this service is carried out.
From anyone who needs a regular car to move around to those that want to book a fancy car—of course at differing rates—Zipcar provides excellent and affordable services.
The cost implications aren’t high, as you can attain membership status with just $7/month or $69/year, and driving rates are as little as $7.50per hour.
You know what this implies, right? You can be an urban family who can enjoy the benefits of having a car without the hassles of actually owning one. You could be a student (yes, Zipcar is available on quite a number of campuses) and drive without having to think about your budget or you could be someone who travels the world without having to hail a taxi!
Zipcar is also very technologically suave, as you can use either the Android or iPhone app to locate a Zipcar by honking its horn and then opening its doors (sounds nice, doesn’t it?).
Indeed, Zipcar is not only a faster way but also a smarter way to get around the city.
