ZipCar was founded in June of 2000 by Robin Chase and Antje Danielson. The company operates a car sharing company. Danielson and Chase designed their company to be similar to car sharing programs already established in European countries. Cars are parked in strategic locations and clients pay a monthly fee in addition to being billed by the hour or the day. Smart phone apps unlock and activate the cars, as well as provide billing services.  Fuel, parking, and insurance are all included in the price.

The company was purchased in March of 2014 for $500 million in cash by Avis Budget Group. The company now operates as a subsidiary. As of early 2016, the company stated that they had 1 million members in 500 cities and operates in 9 countries. The company uses more than 50 different makes and models of cars and light trucks.

ZipCar has been sued twice for charging “hidden”fees, including a surcharge for a parking ticket, even if the ticket was overturned, and for talking to a customer service representative regarding a disabled vehicle, even though there is no other way to report one.

Dollar Rent a Car was founded in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by Henry Caruso. The business was originally named Dollar A Day Rent a Car, but changed the name when price increases made renting a car for one dollar impossible.

The company provides car rentals, specialty vehicle rentals, and hire services for small to mid-sized businesses, the U.S. Government, and governmental associates. The company also offers franchises of its car rental service.

Besides vehicle rentals, the company also offers business and vacation travel planning, airline and hotel reservations, as well as online services, including reservations for rental vehicles.

In 2014, a woman filed a lawsuit against Dollar regarding what she called “obvious overcharges” in regards to rental insurance.

Due to the pandemic of 2020/2021, many companies sold a great deal of their inventory only to find that purchasing new cars was extremely difficult and expensive due to a lack of computer parts. This will mean that renting a car will be more difficult and expensive at least throuh 2022 and perhaps 2023.

The company has locations in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and other countries. Today, Dollar Rent a Car operates as a subsidiary of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.
