New car-sharing service coming to D.C.
[I]Hertz wants to cash in on car-sharing services[/I]Hertz Car Rental has announced that it is going to compete with the popular Zip Car company to provide quick, convenient car rentals throughout the District.
Hertz will expand its “Hertz on Demand” program to 80 locations including Union Station, Adams Morgan, Connecticut Avenue, NW, Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, Anacostia, H Street NE, Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, Columbia Heights, Takoma Park, Cleveland Park, Friendship Heights, Georgetown, and South Capitol Street.
Under Zip Car’s Occasional Driving Plan, drivers must pay a $60 annual fee as well as a $25 application fee. Hertz does not have membership or annual fees, though hourly and daily rates may vary by city.
Hertz on Demand will also allow drivers to take one-way trips and drop off their rentals at any of the 175 locations in the northeast. Both Zip Car and Hertz on Demand have pay-as-you-go options with no monthly commitments.
