ZipCar

<p>I was wondering if any current middlebury could give me some information about how zipcar works on campus.It sounds like a great idea that I might try to bring to my campus but the website didn't answer all of my questions.</p>

<p>How often do students use the zipcars? The website said that there were only 2 cars on campus...has there always been a car available when you or a friend wanted to use it?</p>

<p>Does Middlebury pay for gas money/rental fees? Or do the students pay?</p>

<p>My d is a freshman at Middlebury and the Zipcar program is terrific. Once you become a "member" of Zipcar, you reserve the car online and she has never had a problem getting one. It takes some planning, but that is a life skill in itself. Often, the kids will take the car into Burlington for a concert or shopping. It's a $50.00 per year registration and we feel it's more economical then owning your own car, insurance,etc. Also, Middlebury is a green campus and they prefer kids to leave their personal cars at home</p>
