Laugh all you want, but CityCarShare charges a $10 monthly fee and a $300 refundable security deposit. That's a minimum of $120 a year plus the deposit. I'm likely to use a ZipCar no more than 3 times a YEAR. I'm a member mostly because it gives me options, not because I'm a heavy user. And ZipCar gives me "bonus miles" on my AMTRAK credit card.
I'd love to see CityCarShare offer a plan with no monthly fee for us low-usage folks, but they don't. Capitalism does. So, as usual, Capitalism satisfies the customers and wins by providing car usage the way it REALLY should be.
