A few years ago, Zipcar’s CEO said they did not stock any American cars because their customers did not want to rent them.
It turns out there is one exception—not a Hellcat Challenger, as you might think, or even a ProMaster van. It’s a Jeep.
There may be other American vehicles in Zipcar’s fleet, but the Wrangler is the only American model to actually be advertised on its web site.
Zipcar requires a monthly or annual membership of $8 per month or $80 per year; after that, cars are rented on an hourly basis. The service is handy for city people who would have to pay for parking to own a car, though on a daily basis the fees are far higher than Enterprise and such. Renters can choose the make and model of vehicle. (More at Wikipedia.)
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
