Zipcar provides affordable access to a car 

With the cost of private car ownership rising 9% since 2021 (AAA. 2022. Your Driving Costs.), owning a car is more expensive than ever. This is especially true when that car sits unused for 95% of its life. With Zipcar, members pay for what they drive, and nothing more: no parking, no maintenance, no insurance. Zipcar members save $1,018 per month on average compared to car owners.
