Zipcar, which allows one to rent by the hour, has made its way to the Atlanta University Center, the nation's largest black campus. What a novel idea for college students. After speaking with a young Morehouse brother, who on his way to an Easter worship service, I realized this service is needed outside of cities like New York, where most folks don't own a ride.
Students are able to reserve a vehicle to rent online at a significant discount. Gas and insurance are included in the hourly fee. Well, for the college students who is either cash-strapped and can't afford a vehicle or has no need to make a major investment in a vehicle, this is a great alternative, as long as the vehicle isn't being kept for more than a few hours at time. In that case, it may make sense to go to a rental car agency for a daily, weekly or weekend deal. Or better yet, consider buying an affordable used vehicle.
