A great alternative to car ownership, especially for those of us who live in cities, car-sharing services offer the opportunity to have ready access to wheels without the hassles of paying for gas and insurance, and even finding parking.
Companies like Zipcar (which recently expanded) operate in many major cities across the country, offering use of their cars by the hour or day via a slick online interface that gives you the ability to reserve online, walk a block or two and just drive away. And perhaps the best part is: it can save you big bucks.
Zipcar users report saving in the neighborhood of $435 every month when using the car-sharing service versus paying for gas, insurance, and maintenance. Plus, they have reserved parking spots around town, saving the trouble and cash it takes to park, which can really add up in a metropolitan area. Check out the Car Sharing Network to learn more about this groovy service and to see if there's a company that operates in your neck of the woods.
