Terrible customer service - they left me stranded 50 miles from home, with no solution to my problem! And it's actually more expensive than using Amazon or Budget - and those companies don't require monthly membership pre-payments, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472472981124 Mon, 1 Jun 2009 20:04:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472472981124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442601475716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hidohebhi - I've only been using ZipCar for 5 weeks (and will cancel after I use my remaining credit this month), but it's as bad a service as I could ever imagine. Above all else, there is NEVER any availability. Every single car is booked for every single time I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442601475716 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:58:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442601475716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442360893060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dc-er - I'm not one to write reviews but after many years of considering using Zipcar in DC I finally took the plunge and really regret it. While the application process was a breeze and the rates are very reasonable, the late fees are absurd ($50 per half hour)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442360893060 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:22:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442360893060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417643597444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jerererermy - I picked up the car, and the brake light and other service lights were engaged. I drove a half a block to the nearest gas station to report it to Zipcar. They told me to swap it for a new car at the same garage. I did that. Later, I get a bill via... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417643597444 Fri, 8 Feb 2008 20:26:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417643597444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412026834564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author poljohnson - My girlfriend is currently sitting in a zipcar by the side of a busy highway, with a blown-out tire.... and she has now been sitting there for 4 hours despite the folks at zipcar corporate insisting for the past 3.5 hours that a tow truck is 15 minutes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412026834564 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 00:04:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412026834564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406473510532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nykije - During weekdays, Zipcar charges "corporate" clients around $3 less per hour and around $10 less per day than plain individuals. And the annual fee is less, per person. This means, if you have even a 1 person "business" (they require a corporate tax ID)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406473510532 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:34:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406473510532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404748406404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seanbradyw99 - Is Car Sharing Right for You? Car sharing programs like ZipCar, give members access vehicles for an hour, several hours, a day or more. ZipCar has a great variety of vehicles including hybrids, BMWs, mini coopers, wagons and sedans.

Dirty cars and cars with poor maintenance. One car was left with the crankcase cap off, which I did not discover until smoke starting pouring out of the engine compartment. Stopped the car and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403622366852 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:48:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403622366852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401697574532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author copywronger - Today, I went to go pick up my first Zipcar. I wanted to move a few things with a friend from my old apartment to my new apartment.

We had to get to an event miles away and thought that the best way to get there was to rent a car.

Quite honestly I see only few circumstances under which you may need Zip car&#133 Let me tell you what&#146s wrong here.

The prices really are a bargain when you compare them to car ownership in the city. Even if I was given a car for free I would have to pay $270/month for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~225371262596 Tue, 4 Apr 2006 10:43:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_225371262596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216466624132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fredfass - Zipcar is, as the very detailed post from "mithril" describes, a very useful car rental service for most people who need a car infrequently. I won't summarize the whole Zipcar experience since it was already done here. I want you to be aware that Zipcar... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~216466624132 Wed, 4 Jan 2006 01:23:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_216466624132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210859560580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mithril - A few months ago, I tried my first Zipcar rental. I'm hooked and will NEVER go back to renting a car from regular car rental agencies whenever Zipcar is an option. Read on to find out why.
