Boston College Welcomes Zipcar!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Living in a town like Boston, getting places is made incredibly convenient with public transport. But there’s always an occasion when having a car would be more than ideal. Most students at BC don’t have vehicles of their own on campus, and I know we’ve all been in that awkward position trying to hitch a ride from someone. But not to fear, Collegiettes! Zipcar is coming to Boston College! Read on to find out more about this unique car sharing service!

The deal with Zipcar is that you can book and reserve a car for as long or as little as you need, say an hour even! The price includes gas and insurance, and you also pay a small deductible. Zipcar services will be located at the Sunoco gas station right down Comm Ave.

The best part about all this? BC students actually get a promotional rate until the end of the semester! You can check out all the information here (promo code: zipjossle)! The goal of this car sharing service is to ultimately make students’ lives easier by removing the hassles of owning your own car, while at the same time providing all the benefits! Also, fewer cars means a greener Earth.

So, Collegiettes, I hope you will look into Zipcar the next time you find yourselves in need of a car. It’s fast, easy, and efficient!
