Zipcar

So there's Zipcar and there's City Car Share. Which one should you get membership in? Both cover gas and insurance. Both have cars all over the city. Or at least all around where I go (check websites for details). The big difference is that Car Share charges $4/hr + mileage (and $2/hr at night), where as Zipcar charges $8.50 (I think that right) and no mileage. So, you gotta think, what am I going to use it for? If you're a gigging musician and want to park outside a club all night and drive your drums home afterwards, obviously, Car Share is the way to go. If you're inclined to do quick trips down to San Jose in an hour or two, than it's Zipcar. Really, the answer is to get membership in both and use the services strategically to get the most out of your transportation buck. Whatever you do, get rid of your frikken car! more

I love Zipcar because you get to experience the urban life (in San Francisco), except with a car and you don’t even need to worry about car insurance or gas. Additionally, you don’t have to go driving around at night looking for a parking space. They have a variety of cars that you can choose. more
