I am a big fan of zipcar and am trying to get everyone on the bandwagon. With the possibility of the upcoming MTA strike, zipcar has set up free pick up and drop off points in the city.

Personally, not having a car is one of the better things about living in NY, especially with my mode of transportation of choice available to me. But since i became a landlord, there are a lot of things that need moving and a lot of space, like the new Ikea kitchens I put in. One of the times when people actually need a big SUV. Well, I got zipcar for my property business, and as a business account, any of my tenants can sign up for $25/year instead of $50/month. And you get cars for a big discount of $8/hour for weekday travel. I know i’m going to be getting one just in case for this weekend.
