Car Rental Competion

by on 10:47 PM
 It appears that the Car Rental companies are competing to stay on top.

Recently Hertz aquired the Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. This recent aquisition has made Hertz the second largest car rental company.  Enterprise is currently the largest in the US.


Avis which falls in third place just aquired Zipcar for $491 Million.

We'll have to wait and see what Avis's acquisition of Zipcar will do to the car sharing brand.

Still Zipping in 2013?

by on 4:53 AM
Recently someone asked me if i'm still zipping around.

When I started this blog, I was an active customer with Zip Car. At the time I lived in the Bronx, where zip cars were accessible. I moved to Long Island since then. I have not been able to make use of my zip car account.

I see Zip Cars on the Long Island Expressway all the time. I think they're expanding their territory.

I still have the iPhone app loaded in my phone and I'm still a fan of their service. 

My membership is current and I keep it that way just in case I may need them in NYC one of these days. They're also all over Toronto, where I frequent.

I guess its still safe to say I'm a zipster at heart. I have a few more reviews and videos I never got a chance to post. I'll work on getting them up.

If you're reading this and are a current member of zip car, let me know if you're interested in reviewing their service here on my blog.
