Description |
Zipcar is a car-sharing program. Cars are kept at many locations in the Puget Sound Region. It gives individuals access to a shared car when they need one – without the cost and hassles of ownership. Zipcar members reserve a vehicle as often and for as long as they want (depending on availability). If you use another type of transportation to commute to work, then Zipcar will save you the cost of operating and maintaining a car - including insurance, depreciation, parking, maintenance and fuel costs.
