ZIP Car Goes Public! Good & Bad!

by on 11:54 AM
Yesterday April 14th ZIP Car went public. The stock was undersold by their underwriters Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. The stock debuted at $18.00 and by the time the closing bell went off, the stock escalated to $28.00. Although the stock looked like a superstar on the market on its first day it is said that the company is expected to lose 50 million dollars. Analyst say that that stock should have been introduced at about $23. I am keeping a eye on this stock today. It seems that alot of traders are unloading the stock in order to secure a profit to their clients. ZIP Cars stock can be found under the symbol ZIP.

On the plus side of things due to the fact that the stock did so well, this might open up some new doors for the company in regards of attracting more investors.

Customer Service @ ZipCar Inc.

by on 8:20 PM
When I called Zipcar's phone support system, I felt like I had a friend on the other line. When I made my first reservation they were very helpful, from beginning to end.

Last week I learned, if you want to reserve one of their high end vehicles for the weekend, be sure to make the reservation well into the week. Don't wait til the last minute.

This week I did just that. I made my reservation early. I needed to make some changes and wasn't sure what to do. So, I called customer service and they were happy to assist me.

The representative on the line not only helped me, but she made me feel so comfortable that we carried on with more questions that I had in reference to the company and its policies.

I hope and pray that ZipCar Inc. compensates them well. They must be! I haven't run into a customer service rep that wasn't chipper.

What is a zipster?

by on 8:02 AM
A "zipster" in my opinion is someone who is on the go all the time. I myself am a zipster. One of the tools I use to get around is my zipcar.com account. I was introduced to zipcar by a friend, whom thought it was the perfect company for me and my on the go attitude.
