The Access Plan will launch in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada. Members can rent Zipcars and Zipvans from Monday through Friday and are allowed 125 km per day.
After pilot programs in five cities, Zipcar said it will offer the van sharing service to its remaining metro markets in North America over the next 12 months.
Zipcar Inc. grows revenue and narrows GAAP net loss in the quarter, though membership growth slower than anticipated and UK business remains challenged.
Toronto members will have access to the 'Zipvan' cargo van service and a monthly membership plan.
The ‘Zipvan’ program includes the Ford E-150 for hourly or daily rentals.
Successful pilot in San Francisco shows demand for utility vans among membership.
The service model is based on a similar offering from the car-sharing company's UK operations.
