ZIP - Urban Car Renting Of Tomorrow Today !

Zipcar has started successfully in London and now lets you share cars in Vancouver, Chicago, Minneapolis, Toronto, NY/NJ, DC/VA/MD and Chapel Hill. Zip Up. After apartment swapping and other great ideas of sharing--facilitated through the Internet--now discover how to rent a car the ZIP way. In London for example they offer their membership customer-ready cars like BMW's, Honda's etc. You can use them all over the city and drive where ever you need to go. In London the current membership fee is £50 annual. With that you acquire the right to reserve the ride of your choice. You will then receive an address where the nearest available vehicle for you is parked on the street. Here comes the coolest part; Once you find the car--which is where the member before you left it--you will simply press your Zipcar membership card against the car window and it will magically unlock the car for you and off you go. You drive it from £4.95 an hour and are asked to deliver the car back to the same location when you’re done. At that point you will owe ZIP! No fuel, insurance or other fancy charges. Zipcar offers great value plans that do vary for every city in which they operate their cars. Check out their web sites to find your deal! This looks to me a lot like the urban car renting of tomorrow. Become a ZIP-er yourself!
