Car Buyer's Notebook Podcast #101: Zipcar's Throwing a San Fran Car Bash
Zipcar, the revolutionary car sharing service, is throwing a "car bash" in San Francisco tomorrow, to benefit breast cancer and publicize their new West Coast expansion.
Armed with a $10 milllion investment, Zipcar has been expanding and is now in 9 states and 28 cities. Essentially a simplified, affordable and decentralized car rental service, Zipcar costs $50 to join and charges consumers an hourly fee to drive around in one of their 800 vehicles.
At the San Fran event, participants who pay either $1 or $5 will get a hammer to swing at an old gas guzzling vehicle -- and will also receive a half price membership and a $25 Zip credit. The first 2,000 attendees will also get a coupon for a free XM satellite radio [monthly service fee not included].
