toyota update
|
Our members' safety is our number one priority. We're in close contact with Toyota on all safety-related recalls, and will pull any impacted cars from our fleet immediately. (If you see a Zipcar available for reservation, it has not been impacted by the recall or it's been fixed). If you have questions about your Zipcar reservation, please contact Zipcar Member Services at 866.4.ZIPCAR (866.494.7227). For more information on the Toyota recall, visit toyota.com/recall. Zipcar has 30 different makes and models, so Zipsters have plenty of other options to choose from.
Update on the 2009-2010 Matrix: Repairs are in progress, and many of the impacted cars are back on the road after being verified by Toyota. The remainder of the recalled 2009-2010 Matrix Zipcars are expected to be back in action by mid-February.
Update on the 2010 Prius: Toyota announced a recall of 2010 Prius cars, which make up less than 1% of Zipcar's fleet. These cars will not be available for reservation until they've been fixed by Toyota. |
win a super dreamy dream date
|
What would you do if you had one night, one Zipcar
and one of your favorite people along for the ride? Would you go for a
romantic dinner at a five-star restaurant? Kayak up a river by moonlight? Scream
in the front row at a Tom Jones concert? Okay, maybe TJ's not your bag... so tell
us what is.
Email your idea of a dream date to contest@zipcar.com by February
14, 2010. If we pick yours, we'll treat you and a special someone to a night you
won't forget. The winner will be announced on our Facebook page on
February 16. Good luck! And Happy Valentine's Day!
The fine print: Prize includes Zipcar reservation + $300 toward the date night activity of your choice. You must be a Zipcar member and at least
18 to enter. No purchase (aka no Zipcar reservation) necessary. Sorry, but aside from the Zipcar,
transportation to your destination is not included. Email your dream date to contest@zipcar.com by 2/14/10
to be considered.

| best ziptrip of the week
|
We've got a new way for folks to share the fun places
they go in their Zipcars. Want in? All you have to do is bring along a camera
or camera phone and snap some pictures or shoot a video of your next Ziptrip.
(You don't have to be Annie Leibovitz or James Cameron; just capture the
moment.) Become a fan of Zipcar on Facebook and you can post your photo
or video for a chance to be our Ziptrip of the Week. Every Friday this winter,
we'll announce a new Ziptrip of the Week winner on Facebook. So
swing by, get some cool ideas for Ziptrips and post your own for a chance to
be crowned best o' the week.

is winter over yet? sheesh.
|
| It's a tough time of year, what with
navigating sudden storms, giant snow banks and nasty traffic snarls. So give yourself
extra time to get around. If you're running late, you can text us to see if the
car's available longer and extend your reservation. (See if you're signed up for text alerts.) To help you deal with the deep-freeze, we've stocked
Zipcars with ice scrapers and some have snow shovels, too. If the ice scraper
is missing, the washer fluid is low or anything else is amiss, give our Member
Service pals a call at 866.4ZIPCAR (866.494.7227). They're here for you, 24/7.
Hang in there. Convertible season will be here before you know it.

| your co-pilot's always ridin' shotgun
|
Remember you're not all alone when you're out there in
a Zipcar. If you're confused, have questions or just want some reassurance
that there's good in the universe, reach for the Zipcar Co-Pilot! It's always
there for you, right in the glove box. (Can it breathe in there? Gosh, we hope
so.)
Open it up anytime you have a question during your reservation. You'll
find tips on how to use the gas card, ways to get help if you're involved in a
fender-bender or what to do if your space is taken. You're the hero of this
journey. Consider the Zipcar Co-Pilot your trusty sidekick.

 KIND wants to be your valentine
|
In 2003, after several successful ventures, Daniel Lubetzky was searching for an elusive snack. He eventually founded KIND -- a brand of healthy snacks that are "kind to your body, your taste buds and the world."
Between now and Valentine's Day, KIND will be showing their "KINDness" to Zipsters. We'll place two KIND Healthy Snacks in every Zipcar. Why two? We're asking that you register the KINDED card in the package, and give the card and the additional KIND Healthy Snack to someone else. Maybe your Valentine? Ask this person to pass the card on to someone that they have KINDED with a random act of kindness, so the card can travel from person to person.
The Zipster whose KIND card travels the furthest will receive $100 in free driving credit. Happy Valentine's Day from Zipcar and KIND! |
