Car-Sharing
Cars by the Hours
Zipcar is a car-sharing service that offers
the perfect complement to using your own car or riding public
transportation - and a great alternative to renting. It's also
affordable, environmentally friendly, and incredibly easy to use. The
modern fleet of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles and fuel-efficient hybrids
is permanently parked around town at convenient locations. Five vehicles
are located in the immediate area of the hostel.
How does it work?

pays for gas, premium insurance, 24-hour assistance, maintenance, and
reserved parking.
Use zipcars in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San
Diego, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. More information at
