Wayne State University has joined the Zipcar Inc. collegiate car sharing network. This cost-effective, convenient transportation option will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to Wayne State students, faculty and staff age 18 and older. Wayne State University members pay a $35 annual fee, and rates on all Zipcars start as low as $8 per hour and $66 per day. Gas, insurance, reserved parking spots, up to 180 miles of driving per day and roadside assistance are included in the hourly and daily Zipcar rates. Cars can be reserved for as little as an hour or for multiple days. "Zipcar provides low-cost, accessible car-sharing in many cities across the country, and we look forward to our students, faculty and staff having even greater access to all Detroit has to offer," said Timothy L. Michael, associate vice president of business and auxiliary operations and chief housing officer. "Zipcar will make it even easier to live on campus without the need for a personal automobile, in turn helping mitigate the high volume of traffic and limited parking in Midtown."
