I rented my first Zipcar last week, and I'm totally smitten. The
entire customer experience from registration to reservation, from pick-
up to drop-off was carefully thought out. Right down to the audio jack
cable that was thoughtfully included for connecting your driving tunes
to the stereo.

I can't wait 'til my next rental.

By the way, in case you aren't aware, this is a screenshot from the Zipcar iPhone app that lets you lock, unlock and locate your Zipcar by blowing its horn, all remotely.
