CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The University of Virginia will soon have Zipcars zooming around campus.
The Charlottesville school says the national car-sharing company will offer six self-service Zipcars to faculty, staff and students aged 18 and older. The cars will include Honda Insights and Civics and will be available around the clock starting on Nov. 17.
Those eligible can join Zipcar for a $35 annual fee and drive the cars for $8 per hour or $66 per day on weekdays, with different rates for weekends. Rates include gas, roadside assistance and limited miles.
UVa says the program is part of its interest in alternative transportation, reduction of cars on campus and overall sustainability.
