Zipcar: Free Membership, Transit Pass and Driving Credit

We just heard from Aaron at AT:NY that Zipcar is running a special promotion in Chicago this summer called the Low Car Diet. If you agree to forgo using your car for 1 month (7/21 - 8/15) and use a combination of Zipcars and other ways to get around (walking, biking, public transit) they will give you a free 1 year membership, a loaded transit pass and a driving time credit. What a deal!

I've been a Zipcar user for just about 2 years now (and car free for more than 8) so I know personally all about how easy and great it is to get around Chicago without owning a car - I hope LOTS of folks take this challenge and find out for themselves that it is a good way to go.

Available in Chicago and various other cities, check with Zipcar for all the details.

Thanks, Aaron!

This is a terrific offer, but I already don't have a car. I really want to join zipcar but have so far put it off because of the cost. Right now I feel like the A student under NCLB-- the bad kids are getting bribed to do better yet the good kids miss out on the treats...

Catiaelizabeth, maybe you should email zipcar and tell them what you said above - they just might give you the same offer!
