  Zipcar Tells New Yorkers to Get Out of Town; Announces Steep Discount for the Republican National Convention Week

NEW YORK, NY—(08/03/04)—Zipcar, a new twist on traditional car rental companies, offering vehicles for rent by the hour or day to consumers and businesses, announced today that it will discount all of its New York vehicles by 20% for those seeking to escape New York City during the upcoming Republican National Convention Week, August 30 through September 3. For as little as $60 a day, Zipcar will help New Yorkers get out of town and avoid the inevitable inconvenience anticipated during the Convention. Making a sweet deal even sweeter—Zipcar pays for the insurance, gas, and even the car's assigned parking spot which members can use for the duration of their reservation. With Zipcar, city residents can easily get in a car and out of town, all in a New York minute.
 
Zipcar vehicles are conveniently located throughout the New York, metropolitan area, as well as Boston and Washington, DC. Members simply reserve online, let themselves in with their Zipcard and drive away. Zipcars are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and there are never any lines or paperwork to fill out. Members can reserve a Zipcar minutes or up to a year in advance at www.zipcar.com, or by calling 1-866-4ZIPCAR.
 
"There is no doubt that New York City residents will feel the impact of the Republican National Convention," said Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith. "This Convention discount affirms Zipcar's pledge of "wheels when you want them" by making it easier and more affordable for everyone looking to get away—for just a day or even the entire Convention Week."
