Zipcar
About
Zipcar is a car-sharing service that lets members book cars by the hour or day from spots in their own neighborhoods, including around Central Square in Cambridge. Reservations take seconds, and members unlock the car with their phone, so there is no counter or waiting. Gas, maintenance, designated parking and insurance options are included, and members pay nothing at the pump or charging station.
The service is designed as an alternative to both car rental and car ownership. Members can head to the North Shore or South Shore, go outlet shopping in Wrentham or simply drive between Central and Copley squares. Professionals handle repairs and upkeep, standard damage protection is included, and help or roadside assistance is always available by phone or live chat.
