escape from the city

The last Bank Holiday of the year is fast approaching. Stuck for inspiration? We've got a few ideas that, with a Zipcar, can make the perfect weekender for you and the family. How about Beachdown music festival in Brighton? For the kids, there are stacks of rides to choose at Thorpe Park in Egham or Lego Land Windsor. Or gather friends and drive to the Campaign Paintball park in Cobham, Surrey for a day out. Alternatively, simply drive to a pre-booked, self-catering holiday cottage in Essex or Kent and explore the beautiful countryside.

ride on time

Yes, the Black Box dance classic may still be ringing round our heads (we like our cheesy 80s pop here at Zipcar). However, for those of you jammed in traffic, running overtime at a relative's or simply unaware that your Zipcar booking is coming to a close, then it's all the more apt. An easy way to overcome the pains of the late penalty fee is to put the freephone number found on your Zipcard into your speed-dial! Then call when you think you need to extend (in seconds) so you can calmly continue dissecting the latest episode of Corrie, karting with the kids or listening to your favourite iPod tracks while easing through the red lights (maybe not to Black Box though).

swipe in, swipe out

At Zipcar we adore systems that run in sync— from reservations, to billing, to cars returned on time. Those of you using Zipcars in the NCP and underground car parks occasionally find the swipe card season tickets a little sticky to use. Re-entering the car parks sometimes proves a bit of a challenge too. Tip: keep persevering with the swipe cards when driving in and out. If you do run into a problem, phone in so we can ensure the cards remain in sync for the next happy member.
