Love to drive but hate paying for the gas, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation of a typical car? Zip Car is here to help offset the burden of being mobile. Zip Car is a new way to get around the city of Springfield! College students that live in the dorms and didn’t bring a car with them to college can rent a car from Zip Car!
How to rent a car:
-Go to www.zipcar.com and create a profile.
-Pay a yearly $25 membership for the service
What is “the catch?’
There really is no catch.
-You go online to www.zipcar.com and reserve the car for when you need it.
-Pay a flat fee of $7.50 an hour to use the car on weekdays. It is $8.50 an hour on weekends.
-If you run out of gas while using the vehicle, there is a gas card in the car that you can charge it to.
-Cars are located behind Hutchens House Residence Hall.
