Live in NYC, Boston, or DC? Take a look at ZipCAR.
It's a short-term car-rental service where you pay by the hour.
Gas, insurance, and maintenance are covered by ZipCAR and when you're done with the car, just park it in the reserved spot you picked it up from.
no hassle, no paperwork, no lines
Cars are available 24-hours a day, unlike most car-rental offices.
It's a pretty slick service, and rates are pretty low considering the freedom it offers.
Rates are as low as $8.00/hour + 0.40 a mile with a max of $75.00, but higher rates apply to different model cars.
Initial Costs:
$30 non-refundable application fee
$75 annual fee or $30 monthly rate plan ($30 is applicable towards monthly use of the latter plan)
$300 member deposit, refundable on demand
The service makes a LOT of sense ... especially here in NYC where parking alone can cost you $500/month.
