Zipcar gift cards

Zipcar is an American car-sharing company and a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group. Zipcar gives members access to book cars nearby by the hour or day. Members may have to pay a monthly or annual membership fee in addition to car reservations charges. Gas, maintenance, insurance options, and a dedicated parking spot are included. Zipcar was founded in 2000 by Antje Danielson and Robin Chase. In the third quarter of 2007, Zipcar merged with Seattle-based rival Flexcar to create a nationwide car rental company. The company's IPO was in April 2011. Zipcar common stock traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ZIP" until it was acquired by Avis in 2013. On March 14, 2013, Avis Budget Group acquired Zipcar for approximately US$500 million. Scott Griffith, who had run the company for the previous decade, resigned the day after the acquisition closed and passed the reins to a new company president, Mark Norman. In early 2014, Kaye Ceille took over as Zipcar's North American president. In the summer of 2016, Ceille became a managing director of Avis Budget Group International and in 2017, Tracey Zhen was appointed as president.
