Zipcar for
Business
Small
business owners, HR managers, independent contractors,
non-profits, government groups, and employees alike have
found that Zipcar for Business meets their business driving
needs.
We're confident that we can help change the way your
business looks at transportation. We may not be the
suit-wearing types (maybe you aren't either), but we've been
watching the macro trends, keeping an ear to the wall, and
tracking patterns in business transportation. What we've
found is that the face of business is changing. Cabs are
costly, rentals are inconvenient, and at the end of the day
all any one is looking for is a viable, sustainable, and
cost effective way to get from A to B.

www.zipcar.com
