Zipcar
Zipcar is a membership-based car-sharing company that provides automobile rentals to its members, billable on an hourly or daily basis. Members are able to view vehicle availability and reserve a self-service car via the internet, iPhone app, or telephone, in increments as short as one hour and pay only for time they reserve. Zipcar vehicles report their positions to a control center using in-car technology. Zipcar was founded in 2000 by Cambridge, Massachusetts. On October 31, 2007 Zipcar merged with rival Flexcar. In 2009 Zipcar has become the world's largest car-sharing service, sharing 6,000 vehicles among 275,000 drivers in 49 U.S. cities, Vancouver, Toronto, and London. On April 1, 2010, Zipcar bought London-based car-sharing firm Streetcar in its latest bid to expand across Europe.

Wheelz (www.wheelz.com) is an early stage, venture backed start-up that is introducing a better approach to personal transportation and car ownership. Wheelz peer-to-peer car sharing platform provides a compelling economic opportunity for car owners to securely lease their vehicles on an hourly or daily basis, and a convenient and affordable personal transportation solution for those who don’t own a car. Cars are the second largest personal asset class on the American balance sheet. They are chronically under-utilized -- most vehicles are parked 23 of 24 hours daily --; and they begin losing value the minute they drive off the lot. The current model – high-value, rapidly depreciating, poorly utilized – of car ownership is busted. Wheelz is un-busting it; introducing a more efficient model of car ownership, a model that is more responsible for the planet and the pocketbook.
