Plus, public transportation options in Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA were so readily available that keeping up with a vehicle just didn\x26#8217;t make sense.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eHowever, each month there seem to be enough random errands, road trips, etc. that having access to a car was still really important. I didn\x26#8217;t want to be the guy that always bums keys from his friends (thanks, guys!), so I looked into other options.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI walked by Zipcar parking spaces all the time in DC so I knew that it might be a convenient option, but I had no idea just how easy the system was until I signed up at the beginning of the year.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eIn fact, the first time I used Zipcar was on the way back from a vacation when I realized we accidentally booked a return ticket to a different airport than the one where my girlfriend left her car. The cost of a taxi up to BWI from DCA was quoted at more than $80. Renting a Zipcar for 2 hours? Less than $20. We reserved it the same day, didn\x26#8217;t have to deal with the hassle of rental car company paperwork, and the car was sitting there waiting for us to wave the magic membership card on the windshield.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3cstrong\x3eSure, there are some drawbacks.\u00a0\x3c/strong\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eRight now you have to return the car from the same spot you rented it from, so you can\x26#8217;t drive one-way home from IKEA with a trunkful of Ektorp sofas and several dozen swedish meatballs. The likely issue with this is that the registration system is not advanced enough to compute \x26#8220;smart reservations\x26#8221; wherein you leave a car somewhere and then another Zipcar user picks it up and takes it back to its permanent parking space (much less a completely distributed network that does not rely on permanent spaces). Bike-sharing programs have dealt with this \x26#8220;free-rider\x26#8221; issue of people using the bikes to only zoom downhill by offering cheap rides and free credits for those who take bikes back to their uphill parking locations.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eAnother minor frustration is that many Zipcar users are infrequent drivers and therefore get lost much more frequently than regular drivers who are more familiar with the road system. This leads to late returns, which can have a domino effect and really screw up your schedule. For example, I rented a truck for one hour in San Francisco to pick up a new bed-frame. The person who had the truck before me was 30 minutes late, which only left me 30 minutes to complete my errand. Zipcar penalizes you $50 per hour if you\x26#8217;re late, so this prevents a lot of abuse in the system\x26#8212; but it happens.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThey leave a fuel card in the car, so you can always fill up for free and you\x26#8217;re supposed to leave the tank at least 1/4 full (I always leave it 3/4 full!). They even give you a credit of one free hour if you take the car through a car-wash!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3cstrong\x3eThe best Zipcar feature, by far, is the mobile phone application.\x3c/strong\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.zipcar.com/apply?promo_code=ijnmprax\x22\x3e \x3c/a\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.zipcar.com/apply?promo_code=ijnmprax\x22\x3e \x3c/a\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.zipcar.com/apply?promo_code=ijnmprax\x22\x3e \x3c/a\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.zipcar.com/apply?promo_code=ijnmprax\x22\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e\x3cimg align=\x22right\x22 width=\x22150\x22 src=\x22http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l00db8swXL1qz537j.png\x22/\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3c/a\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eWhile you\x26#8217;re on the go, you can search for close-by available Zipcars using an incredible map overlay. There\x26#8217;s over 20 cars within a half-mile of my apartment\x26#8212; everything from Beamers to Tacomas to Priuses. You can rent for as cheap as $7/hr. You can make your reservation via the mobile app on your smartphone and even\x26#8212; this blows my mind\x26#8212; unlock the car using your phone! The keys are always left in the vehicle and you have to swipe in at the beginning of your reservation with your membership card to identify yourself. One time, I accidentally left my wallet with the membership card locked in the car and didn\x26#8217;t think I\x26#8217;d be able to unlock the vehicle. But then I remembered the amazing mobile phone application that sends a signal to outer space and UNLOCKS the vehicle!

This was probably the tipping point, the moment I realized I want a legal background.
