Recently, Zipcar has been showing why it is the leading car sharing company in the world. In fact, the company has proven that it can expand itself into the college scene. Currently, Zipcar has been able to expand into over 45 universities since 2011-12.

This news should not come as a shock to most people. This is because Zipcar is actually a very popular choice among campuses. This is because it can help reduce congestion, and it also helps save college kids a lot of money. Everyone knows that saving money is pretty high on a priority list for college students.

This kind of car hiring scheme has become popular among students – mostly because its benefits are three fold. First, it helps reduce parking demand at the university itself. Second, it is able to save college students a ton of money. Last, it helps reduce the carbon footprint of a college, which has become extremely important to people recently.

Overall, Zipcar is giving students an alternative to owning their own car. People can rent these cars for hourly or daily fees. When renting, they are also getting things like insurance, roadside assistance, and even reserved parking spots.

Scott Griffith, who is the chairman and chief executive of Zipcar, said that their university program is still gaining a lot of momentum. They have been building their network for campuses for the last ten years. Their extensive experience has helped with the innovation and creation of a service that is easy, fun, and cost-effective to use.
