Past
In the fall of 1999, our two Zipcar founders were sitting in a café,
excited about a concept they had seen in Berlin while on vacation. Cars
were parked around the city for members to drive by the hour instead of
owning their own vehicles. They had a Eureka! moment (or maybe it was more
like, "Duh! What an obvious idea.") They put an American spin on it - outfitting
the cars with wireless technology, creating a hassle-free reservation system
and strategically placing the cars around key cities and neighborhoods.
In June of 2000 the first Zipcars were on the road. The masses could now
drive cars by the hour or day - on their terms.
Present
Today, tens of thousands of smiling drivers use Zipcars. In many neighborhoods,
Zipcars are as ubiquitous as ATMs. Z2B (business) and personal drivers alike
are loving the freedom and cost savings a Zipcar brings to their life -
many have even achieved transportation nirvana. That's why over 30% of our
customers have either sold their car or have stopped their purchasing decision.
The revolution is underway, at least in the minds
of members who no longer give a second thought to how they will get
where they need to go. With a Zipcard in your pocket, a car is only a wireless
signal away. Viva la revolution!
Future
