Zipcar offers alternative to parking at Duke

Duke's Zipcar fleet recently increased and now features eight vehicles at four locations on Duke's East and West campuses.

Students can uses Zipcar instead of bringing a car to campus and the car-sharing program offers a way for faculty and staff to get off campus at a moment's notice without having their own car around.

To join Zipcar, faculty, staff, and students pay a $35 registration fee that is applied as a credit toward reservations in the first month. The cost to reserve a car is $8 per hour or $66 per day. Fuel, maintenance and insurance are included. Reservations are accepted for a one hour minimum, up to a maximum of four days. All memberships, reservations and payments are administered and managed by Zipcar.

problem being you have to return the car at the same location. It is quite painful if you borrow it at the over night special rate. :P Waking up 8 am in the morning to return it 30 min away from ur home.. umm.. not very convenient. However, their nice customer service and cars may cancel out those odds. :)
