Have a young adult on your list? Research shows 18-34 year olds (the Millenials) are increasingly forgoing car ownership and adopting alternative means of transportation such as car-sharing services like Zipcar. In a Zipcar study, 78% of Millennial respondents said car ownership is difficult due to high cost of gas, parking and maintenance.
Philadelphia provides good sources of public transportation but sometimes a Zipcar is just necessary for those major shopping hauls, family visits, or impromptu road trips.
A Zipcertificate starts at $50. An annual membership costs $60, with hourly reservation rates starting around $8.25.
We even have a SPECIAL offer for those signing up through the following link! Join Zipcar and get $25 free driving in the tank. Hourly and daily rates include gas, insurance and all the fixings. Cars around the corner are available 24/7. Hop on board at zipcar.com.
