So, I wanted to research Zipcar, but it looks like Allison already got than one :) The idea of having a car lately has been on my mind because I have been feeling very limited... I do not have a car and struggle to get to things off campus. I use the bus system, but even that has its limitations. So anyways, I have been researching my options, and organizations like Zipcar and City CarShare seem to be great options (and they're inexpensive!) Because Allsion already discussed Zipcar, I decided to look at a very similar company, City CarShare, located in the bay area.
City Carshare, like zipcar, is a bay area non-profit that allows members access to cars. Each member is given an electronic key that opens the car they have reserved- only during that time. Members can reserve cars on-line 24/7 in locations all over the bay area. These cars range from small sports cars, to trucks, to SUVs, and the like. Whereas it typically costs an individual $500/month to own a car- including gas, etc; City Carshare only costs around $45- including gas, insurance, etc. Plus, by sharing and not owning, you're keeping more cars off the road and protecting the environment. Also, City Carshare allows for individual, household, company, and university membership.
Unfortunately, City Carshare is only in the bay area... but Zipcar is available right here in LA!
