Loads of dirty laundry you expect. But parking tickets and towing fees? Not a fun surprise. Keeping a car on campus is just one more hassle to worry about when you send your kid off to college. Luckily, with Zipcar, they can have wheels when they want them without all the added costs of owning a car.
Zipcar is a car-sharing service that allows 18+ students to reserve cars on campus (and all around the world) by the hour or day with gas and insurance included. So, if your student needs to make a late-night snack run or wants to come home for a weekend, all they have to do is sign up. To learn more, head over to zipcar.com/umbc. Then, send your dorm denizen to zipcar.com/umbc to get signed up for only $25. Have them use the promo code 2014UMBCPARENT and they’ll even get $40 in driving credit* to try the service out.
