I have been a Zipcar member for a few years. I can’t say enough about how much I like Zipcar – it a great service if you just need a car sometimes or if you need to borrow a larger car or truck for an afternoon. Cars are easy to reserve and use, the customer service is great and very helpful. The Zipcar I was using this weekend got a flat tire.
