Ideas Around the Gift of Zip:
· Online Zipcertificates start at $50: Zipcar allows consumer the convenience of a car without the hassle or cost of actually owning one (e.g. insurance, gas, monthly car payments, maintenance). Can offer the happy recipients a shiny, new Zipcar membership, cover a few hours behind the wheel, or both.
· Cheapest Way to Gift 30 Cars: Has the most varied fleet of any car sharing service, with more than 30 makes and models, including BMWs, Volvos, MINI Coopers, Prius Hybrids, pickup trucks and more.
· For Environmentalists: Since each shared Zipcar replaces 15 personally owned cars on the road, recipients also get the added feel-good bonus of knowing they are helping reduce traffic, congestion and their overall carbon footprint.
· For Nannies/Babysitters: With a Zipcar membership, your extended family of childcare providers will receive all the benefits and ease of being a part of our Zipster family. Plus, you’ll receive the comfort of knowing that Zipcar automatically checks driving records of our members for free and provides insurance, so your most precious cargo can be carted safely around town in our well-maintained fleet.
· For Techies: Members can now find and book a Zipcar, honk the horn, even lock and unlock the doors—all from their iPhone (named one of the best travel gadgets of 2009 by Time magazine)
· For Fitness Fanatics: We challenged members in 12 cities to give up their cars this year for our “low-car diet,” and they walked a total of 5,051 miles and lost a total of 249 pounds. In general, members of Zipcar and car sharing programs report a 47% increase in public transit trips, a 10% increase in bicycling trips and a 26% increase in walking trips.
· For Your Many Holiday Travel Needs: Zipcar is also a great option for getting around town during the holidays (whether to the mall or to a holiday party – lugging around shopping bags or potluck dishes) or even visiting out-of-town family if you don’t own a car.
· Available nationwide: New York, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Los Angeles, London, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Washington D.C., and Vancouver as well as on more than 150 college campuses.
