Zipcar Philadelphia Certificates Makes a Great Sustainable Gift Idea!

It’s  5 days before Christmas and I can practically smell the excitement in the air. For some of us that anticipation may be commingled with final frenetic shopping.  No matter, if you’re still on the hunt for that last-minute sustainable gift idea, Zipcar Philadelphia “zipcertificates” may be your answer.

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.

Zipcar Philadelphia deets:

Where & What?  Zipcar Philly members have access to almost 300 vehicles in more than 150 Philly locations, everything from Toyota Prius hybrids, Toyota Tacoma and even BMW 328xi. With that many options, your gift recipient will be prepared for any driving need whether it’s moving, picking up a hot date, grocery shopping or visiting relatives.

How? Members can reserve a Zipcar, through the company’s convenient mobile app, the day, hour or minute before they need to drive, so they don’t have to get stuck on public transit or pay a hefty price for a cab ride.

Bonus – Big Discounts: More than 20 Philadelphia retailers offer Zipsters discounts simply for being Zipsters. Arganica Farm Club offers the first month free plus a $15 credit; Breakaway Bikes will give you 10% off all parts and accessories and 5% off new bikes; and Philly Pretzel Factory gives you 3 FREE pretzels with every purchase.

It takes just a few clicks to get your Zipcar Philadelphia Zipcertificate, and give a sustainable holiday gift. Happy last-minute shopping 🙂
