Zipcar

Zipcar is a car-sharing service that allows members to rent vehicles by the hour or day, typically for short-term use. Instead of owning a car, members reserve cars online or via an app, then unlock the vehicle with a membership card or smartphone. Vehicles are located in designated spots around cities and neighborhoods, providing convenient access without the costs of ownership such as insurance, maintenance, or parking. It's an eco-friendly and flexible transportation option suited for errands, commuting, or occasional travel, offering the ease of on-demand car access with the simplicity of a community-based sharing model.
