Zipcar To Introduce One-Way Rentals as Avis Builds on Early Success
Skift Take
Sometimes acquired companies transition to the parent company and lose their whole mojo. That doesn't appear to be happening with Avis Budget and Zipcar, which is getting newer vehicles at lower cost, and is positioned to move into new geographies at a quicker pace.

Zipcar members can't currently do one-way drives and instead have to return the vehicle
