Included with your Car2Go rental is free parking in any approved parking space.

With a low price of just $5 to sign up and no monthly or yearly subscriptions, Car2Go is an affordable alternative to owning a car or using public transport. Car2Go also offers access to Mercedes, sedans, and SUVs in addition to their flagship SmartCars. Car2Go is one of the best alternatives to Zipcar if you need to take a one way trip.

    Turo is a peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing marketplace where you can easily book any car you want, wherever you want it.
    Originally called RelayRides, Turo is another car sharing services where "real people" rent their cars out for hourly or daily use. Once Turo has verified your identity and your license, you can start booking cars. Like AirBnB, the owner of the car can then either confirm or deny your reservation, typically in less than 8 hours. Unlike some of the other car services on this list, these cars are not self unlocking; you actually meet the vehicle owner and get the keys in person. This can be a great alternative to Zipcar and potentially a way to meet someone who might be able tell you about hot spots in whatever city you're staying in.

    With a much smaller fleet than many of the alternatives on this list, Maven is only available in select cities. Backed by GM, this company is poised for explosive growth, especially with its new Gig program. Maven Gig is a program allowing drivers to rent cars on a weekly basis for use with ridesharing services like Uber or Lyft, and on-demand delivery services, allowing drivers to earn money while renting a car, unlike most other rental services. Included in the rental is insurance and gas, letting you worry about driving without worrying about your car. Maven has also recently added a fleet of cars which have reserved parking spots in valet attended garages, where you can get the keys from the valet after proving you can lock and unlock the car from the app on your phone.

    Hertz 24/7

    This product hasn't been added to SaaSHub yet
    If you're more comfortable renting from a more established company, or just not driving a stranger's personal car, Hertz 24/7 offers one way and hourly car rental in the UK with a focus on vans and light trucks. This is a great option if you're moving across or between towns, but this isn't the service to turn to when you want to really wow a date or blow a potential client away. However, the established company backing the rental means there is more support if something does go wrong and you're less likely to be turned away because there are no rentals left, so you won't be left stranded with a dresser on the side of the road.

  7. For people, Enterprise CarShare gives three particular arrangements to browse taking into account your utilization.
    Again, if you want an established company to back your rental, Enterprise CarShare is a great option. While it does have an annual and application fee, there are a host of benefits for those who will take advantage of the reduced price on rentals often. With an included fuel card and 24/7 customer support, renting a car by the hour, day, or even week through Enterprise CarShare is an easy and credible alternative to traditional rental agencies. This option isn't great if you need a rental TODAY though, with an up to 10 day waiting period for approval and your information to be mailed to you, but can be a great alternative to ZipCar if you're more comfortable without the ability to unlock your car from your phone.
