Zipcar
3.3
(6)
"Zipcar is fine, but it's easy to rack up a lot of bills from them."
"I've been a Zipcar member for about 10 years... take the bus all the time, use Lyft for late night trips."
"I sold my car recently and use Zipcar about once a week... still less costly for me than owning and maintaining my own car."
"Zipcar or GetAround"
"It was kind of a hassle using them for errands -- needing to reserve the car... it added a lot of steps."
"Zipcar has gone so far downhill from what it used to be that I’d argue it isn’t worth it."
