The Car Alternative for City Dwellers

If you're not one to spontaneously take off in your car on road trips or need to commute in a car, check out options like Zip Car. My friend in DC generally takes public transportation, and when he needed a car for an evening we got a Zip Car. It was so convenient, reserving online, choosing the car he wanted and the pick up location, and arriving to get it. Plus it was a Prius which was a nice opportunity to try the car out in a real situation.

Unlike with your own car you can pick a car model that fits with your errand, like a van or larger car, or smaller one for better mileage.

Currently they're in San Francisco, Boston, New York, DC, London and a few other cities.

It can get a little expensive if you're renting for more than a few hours which is why I gave it only 4 stars. Other than that it's a fab service.
