The City of Champaign is pleased to announce that ZipCar is now available as yet another transit choice for the Downtown community.  These cars are part of a six car program that the City’s of Champaign and Urbana, the University of Illinois and the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District have embarked on together.  This system allow those that need a car for hour increments to now have an option.  Whether you take the bus to work, car pool or have someone drop you off, now you have the option to run those errands over lunch.  Perhaps you are a one car family (or want to be) now you have another option.

In order to participate all you have to do is become a Zip Car member by signing up at www.zipcar.com.  The yearly membership includes all insurance, gas, and maintenance needs.  Cars are rented at variable rates but average $8.00/hour.  Think of the money you could save by sharing a car!

The cars in Downtown can be found in the Neil and Washington Street lot right next to the Neil Street Entrance (north of One Main Plaza).  The cars include a Toyota Prius and a Mazda3.
