Zipcars arrive on Duke campus

Bookmark and Share

Zipcar, the world's largest car-sharing company, is now at Duke.

The fleet consists of two Toyota Priuses and two Toyota Matrixes. They're parked at the West Campus Quad and in the surface lot near the Bryan center parking garage and cost $8 per hour or $66 a day. Fuel is included. Cars may be driven up to 180 miles per day (each additional mile is 45 cents).

To reserve a car, you must be 18 or older and use a debit or credit card to pay a $35 annual membership. Drivers 18-20 may drive only on campus.

UNC has had Zipcars since 2004, first for faculty and staff. Students began renting the cars in 2007.
