Car-sharing network
Zipcar’s annual member survey revealed that nearly 10 percent of members get rid of a car after joining, and 32 per cent would have purchased a vehicle without the presence of Zipcar. As a result of Zipcar’s global membership in eight countries, the company claims that more than 413,000 vehicles are not on city streets, significantly reducing the potential congestion and parking challenges in the over 500 cities and towns in which Zipcar operates.
Over the past few years, Zipcar has expanded to a wider network of locations across the globe, launched its most flexible service yet with one-way and inter-city options in select markets, unveiled a join and drive process for members looking to access a vehicle within minutes, and will launch a new Zipcar free-floating car-sharing model this autumn.
