Access to a car, without the cost and hassles of ownership

During the current economic crisis, rethinking car ownership is one of the most significant ways people can save money. Owning a car can be one of the biggest household budget busters, with monthly car payments, the cost and hassles of insurance, gas, parking, maintenance, repairs, and more. The financial advantages of car sharing could result in an estimated average savings of $633 per month1(or $7,596 per year) compared to owning a car. With each Zipcar trip, gas, secondary insurance, parking, and maintenance are included in the cost of a reservation.
