So I’ve recently signed up for Zipcar, in anticipation of an upcoming trip to San Francisco.

$50 fee for an “occasional user” plus a $25 application fee.

While that might seem steep at first, it would cost me $53 per night to park a rental car at my hotel.
The actual car may cost me $73 for a 24-hour rental, but that includes all insurance, and even gas. Since we’ll only need a car for a couple days of our 7-day trip, I figure it’s well worth it to go the Zipcar route.

Next time you’re visiting a city with expensive (or non-existent) parking, check out Zipcar.
