I got rid of my car a few years back. Didn’t need it. I live in the city, with busses and subways right at my doorstep. I am a short walk away from everything I could 
possibly need or want. So one day, I just packed it in. My lease was up and that was that. No more car.

Driving is a pain in the ass. And very stressful. At least in this city. End of story.
On the odd occasion when I do need a car, I rent a Zipcar. Wondering what the hell a Zipcar is? Well, they’re cars you can rent by the hour. You pay a nominal annual fee, to become a member. There are Zipcars available in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of locations, all around the city.
Hourly rates vary, depending on the make of car. Insurance is included and there’s even a credit card to cover the cost of gas, should you need a fill-up.
Just go to the Zipcar website and indicate when, and for how long, you want a set of wheels. Based on your location,
