I just signed up for ZipCar (www.zipcar.com) through my workplace. Anyone else tried it?
It seems like a pretty cool idea. They have a bunch of cars scattered about the country and you can reserve them and rent them hourly. We're a one car family and I usually take the bus to work, so it a pretty good deal for me if I just need a car for a little while or if the wife has the car out of town -- or rent an SUV for $5 an hour to haul lumber
(Gas and insurance are apparently included, by the way.)
But what strikes me as most interesting is that I can join here for a song and reserve/rent a car for excursions or day trips in Chicago or DC when I visit friends there.
So anyone have any experiece with it? I'll let you know how it goes once I get fully approved -- they need to check driving records for insurance purposes I guess. My main concern is availability, but I though I'd give it a try in any case.
