Shared Car Agencies
Apart from these main car rental agencies New York City is also served by shared car agencies like ZipCar and Mint Car. These agencies do not operate out of single location rather they use the many parking garages located all over New York City to house their cars. Both ZipCar and Mint Car offer hourly plans, in fact the tag line of ZipCar reads “Wheels when you want them” for the convenience that its plans offer. Moreover when you rent a car from ZipCar and Mint Car gas, insurance and the EZ-Pass electronic toll card are all included in your rental unlike normal car rentals when you have to top up tanks before returning the car and also buy separate insurance.
Before you can rent a car from either ZipCar or from Mint Car you have to join one of their many schemes as a member.
