It’s been nearly a decade since founders sat in a café and decided to bring the European car-sharing idea to Cambridge, Massachusetts soil. Once the wheels were in motion, it was only a matter of time before some major changes helped grow a little car-sharing company into the world’s car-sharing leader. Today, thanks to cool technology, a member-driven user experience, and an amazing team of hands-on Zipcar enthusiasts, they are redefining the way this generation thinks about alternative transportation.
The company are redefining the way people think about transportation. Car sharing seems like a simple enough idea, but there’s a reason that Zipcar has become the leader for cars on demand—they took a simple concept to new heights. It’s not just about less cars, less congestion and less pollution (though we’re not complaining), it’s about understanding why those things are a problem, and finding sustainable solutions. They are idea people acknowledging that this is something bigger than all of us, something that can take over the world (literally). And it’s not just a theory. They have the industry’s gold standard service, allowing our members 24/7 access to thousands of cars around the globe. Zipcar isn’t just about the concept of car sharing; it’s about the people who make it a reality: a team that works hard, members who believe, and organizations that are making conscious decisions for the future.
