Zipcar is the newest addition to the car rental companies. Zipcar does it a little differently however, and they are a car share company and not the traditional car rental. Zipcars mission is to enable simple and responsible urban living.
Zipcar was started to help take cars off the road and make car sharing a viable mode of transportation. Each Zipcar takes 15 20 personally owned vehicles off the road, which cuts down on pollution and congestion. Zipcar also saves members an average of $500 per month as compared to personally owning a car.
To rent a Zipcar one first needs to purchase a membership with the company, which can be done on the Internet or at a branch office. The essential to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Considering and expending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Lowering expending and expenses, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel bill!. There is a one-time application fee of $25 plus an annual membership of $50. Zipcar also has business membership options. Members receive a Zipcard that unlocks every Zipcar around the country.
To reserve a car, members can use the Zipcar website or over the phone, and choose from the many cars and trucks available. Cars can be reserved last minute or up to 1 year in advance, and can be kept for 1 hour or up to 4 days. Rates start at $8 per hour and $66 per day depending upon the make and model of vehicle.
What is included with the Zipcar, is sure to put everyone in the car sharing mood. Each and every reservation comes with insurance, gas and 180 miles for free. Inside every Zipcar is a gas card used at the pump. Simply swipe it as a normal credit card and then put in the requested odometer mileage and member number. Zipcar picks up the bill and members dont need to keep receipts. 180 miles is included for any reservation up to 24 hours, and 20 additional miles are added for each additional hour past 24 hours, up to the designated 180 miles per 24-hour period. Additional miles are charged at $0.45 for standard Zipcars or $0.55 for premium Zipcars like BMW.
Zipcar envisions a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in major cities around the globe. Car sharing is another piece of the puzzle to decongest and minimize pollution in large cities. Minneapolis is expanding public transportation options with the light rail and Nice Ride bikes. Zipcar is a great option for those that do not wish to own a car but need to have it as an option. Right now Zipcars are only on the U of M campus but there are plans to expand throughout the city.
