I love zipcar! It has really been worth for me. They actually now have a truck in the ft. greene area, which is super handy for occasional trips the the Salvation Army or, say, the Brooklyn Flea to pick up furniture!

well, whenever I look for zipcars I see them available at the Throop Ave location. But there are only about 3-4 cars there. It’s the closest location to me so it’s always the one I see first.

The only time I’ve had trouble finding the zipcar I want is when I was trying to rent a pickup or minivan on a Sunday afternoon.

I think when we say “the Greater Williamsburg area” we mean to include Bushwick and North Bed-Stuy.

Is that true, Sally? That they never have cars available? Is that the case with the Fort Greene Zipcar locations, or is that the case with just this “Greater Williamsburg” location or both? I’m wondering, because I’m really interested to know how others find this service.

Wait isn’t Bedstuy on the other side of Broadway versus Williamsburg. So if anyplace is great Williamsburg it should be Bushwick next door?

The problem with zipcar is they never have cars available. They tempt you but don’t deliver.

Thanks for the info, Quincy. The last time I checked Zipcar that location wasn’t available. I guess that was more than a few months ago!

What’s in a name? A lot. If we just started calling ourselves Greater Williamsburg, that pesky lack of services that we currently deal with would disappear completely. Hmmmm, Greater Williamsburg. I think I’m going to use that term occasionally.

Zipcars have been available at the “Williamsburg” location for at least a couple of months now. We were slightly offended by the creative license they took in mapping the hood, but not offended enough to continue trekking down to the garages in Forte Greene! Perhaps we could convince Fresh Direct to consider us greater Wmsbrg as well?
