I'm considering getting a Zipcar membership. Anyone like them? Dislike them? Have any pointers or thoughts?

(Also, I see some interesting promotional codes floating around the intarweb: KQED (as in the San Francisco PBS station) gets you $50 credit, and VANCOUVERWEB gets you $75 credit. I don't know that either of them will work in Boston, as I haven't signed up yet. It's at least vaguely plausible that I might be a KQED member, while I'm not sure it's so plausible for me to use the Vancouver discount here. But hey, if someone's used it, I want to hear whether it worked. :)

[livejournal.com profile] dirque forwarded me a promo code, but for Flexcar, which sadly doesn't operate in Boston.)

The economics makes sense if you don't need to drive a car every day.

$60/day includes insurance and gas.

Now currently my insurance runs me around $600/year with liability only for a 2000 audi. Which means it costs me $3-4/day every day just in insurance if I had full coverage whether I choose to drive the car that day or not. So take your $35/day rental get full insurance(~$20/day) and pre-pay the gas and it'll come close or over $60/day as well.
