New York City is one of the greatest city’s to live in because you do not have to drive to get around. There are those times though, when having a car is convenient for running errands, trips to Ikea or loading up on bulk groceries. The options of car sharing has increased and we now have a couple more options other than the pioneer of car sharing Zipcar. Hertz Connect and Mint are out on the road and are waiting to be shared.
If you need to rent a pick up truck for a bigger project or a Mini Cooper for a quick trip or you feel like being sporty and want a BMW using a car share gives you flexibility . Whatever your choice is, these car shares have something for every preference.
