Zipcar pays for the parking spots they use. Obviously, while they’re being rented the drivers may use public spots the same as car owners do.

- gkoberger 9y agoAnd Bird is paying (or offering to, at least) $1/scooter/day to SF. That's $365/scooter/year. I've heard Zipcar pays SF $1000-ish/year, so inch-for-inch it's certainly a good deal.
- extra88 9y agoIn the greater Boston area, I think I've only seen Zipcar spots on private property (though I'm not sure what the ownership is of the MBTA parking spaces) and I would expect the rate to be somewhat negotiable, based on supply & demand for the neighborhood.
- kingbirdy 9y agoSame in Philadelphia
- jarvuschris 9y agoThere are some zipcar spots on streets in Philly
- mentalpiracy 9y agoEnterprise has a few streetside too. Almost assuredly, these companies pay Philly for the rights to that those marked spots.
- jonknee 9y agoThere are car sharing services in Seattle that operate much like the scooters and bikes (park them in any city space, pay just for when you use, etc). The city charges a flat rate per car per month. Like dockless bike share it ends up being way more useful.
- badwolf 9y agoI love Car2Go here in Austin. They pay the city some flatrate per year, and so car2go can park anywhere in public street parking without paying meters.
