So my experience: if you use zipcar for a delivery service you will go out of business within days because no one has received their food. Zipcar is a car sharing program, you have to reserve a car via phone or internets, gas and insurance is on them. HOWEVER... because its a shareing program, there may be days or even weeks at a time when the car closest to your location (like the one a couple blocks from my apartment) is booked solid. And they are limited to 180 miles a day. Well not physically limited, its not going to die with you on the side of the road and pop up "over miles, try again later". But all the cars do have gps on them and once you go over 180 miles they start charging you 30 cents a mile. Also, did I mention that the cars are never available? Like... ever? Also in their apps and online you can choose "find car closest to me" and I have to say it is the absolute worst locating service ever, the "closest" car to my apartment is over 2 miles away, and the 4th closest is only 2 blocks away (in real life). Oh yeah, and they are never available.
