rachel weidinger Zipcars are dreamy...but Flexcars are cleaner. Why?

I'm an ex-Flexcar'er. I fully admit that when I signed up ~2 years ago that I meant to sign up for Zipcar, but did Flexcar instead. There was little brand differentiation then in my mind. City Car Share was the more spendy, more of a pain, but nonprofit option. And then there were the Other One(s). I spent a mistaken year as a Flexcar'er, rarely using it because the locations were lame.

But, maaaan, I tell you, the Flexcars were clean and nary a den

rachel weidinger Multiple-reservations-in-a-day vs. whole day reservations

My crazy life is such that I might have a meeting in San Mateo in the morning, then two community meetings on top of each other at night the same day. I need a car for three hours in the morning and 4.5 hours at night, say. It's cheaper for me to rent a single car for the whole span of 9am-11pm and let it just sit in the lot while I work in my home office from noon to 6:30. Seems stupid, since another member (or lots of them) migh need it in those 6.5 hours. And I'm loathe to do to seperate s…

Alex Hillman Why I think shared resources kick ass

This is a repost from my blog that I made last week regarding an experience with Philly Car Share (whom I heart). I'm working really hard to get PCS involved with the Philadelphia Coworking initiative for a number of reasons..some of which I outline. So here it goes:

I just got back from an afternoon driving an…

Tara Hunt A Little Bit of Zipcar Controversy in Vancouver

From a comment on my Getting Greener post.

"An interesting note about Zipcar: they just launched in Vancouver (like, yesterday), and from what I can garner from my peers, they’re facing a lot of negative reaction.

Why? Because Vancouver has a venerable, much-loved car co-op (http://www.cooperativeauto.net/) and Zipcar is the first (

Tara Hunt Why I'm Taking all This Time to Love Up Zipcar

Chris and I choose to live car-free, but there are times when we need wheels (client meetings in the peninsula, big grocery shops, runs to Ikea, visit days to Tad's school which is in the boonies).

We used to rent cars on sites like Priceline, where we could get a deal for around $20/day. But the insurance costs (because we don't own a car, we…
