Zipcar

Beyond their insanely high rates, the majority of car rental companies have insane restrictions and additional insurance fees for drivers under 25 (I’m looking at you, Enterprise!).
But as long as you’ve had your license for a full calendar year, are over 21, willing to pay the $ 50 yearly membership fee, and aren’t a general fuck-​up (ie; the only Grand Theft Auto you’re associated with is via PlayStation), ZipCar will affordably bless you with one of their clean rides — complete with that ‘new car’ smell! — in addition to;
— A super convenient pick-​up spot (in Hoboken, the garage was approx 7 blocks from home)
–A window mounted EZPass
–A unlimited gas card to be used anywhere credit cards are accepted
–A $ 30 reimbursement for supplies like wiper blades/​window fluid/​car washes, etc.
— The necessary cables and cords to hook-​up your iPod/​GPS/​etc.
–A jack and a spare tire in the trunk
–A simple and easy-​to-​read «How to operate you car/​what to do if shit goes wrong» manual in the glove compartment. along with all of the necessary registration documents all nicely organized (incase you should get pulled over, ha.)
Granted, I don’t actually drive, however he had nothing but compliments for the «smooth drivability» of the ’09 Scion xD hatchback we rented for our PA getaway. Even more surprising was the amount of space in the car; we were able to fit our luggage, a giant beer/​food cooler, a large box filled with local snacks (Tastee Kakes + Herr’s Chips are PA delicacies), tchockes and 15 pounds of honey (don’t ask)…yet still had enough room to stretch out during traffic on I-​80.
Sometimes, even us city-​folk just gotta get the fuck outta Dodge — and G*d bless ZipCar for making it so easy.
