I've used them for Ikea trips, grocery store trips, weekends away and have been a member for over 2 years now (in 3 different neighborhoods in Brooklyn). They can be hard to get on weekends sometimes - but if you plan ahead enough it's okay. I am a HUGE zipcar fan - using one this weekend to go out of town, in fact. posted by GilloD to Travel & Transportation around New York, NY (25 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite What I'm looking for are recent experiences with Zipcar or alternate suggestions for getting large pieces of furniture to-and-fro in NYC on mutliple dates without breaking the bank. More, a lot of the opinions seemed to come from 3 or more years ago. Some people adored Zipcar, others made it sound like a DIY Chinatown Bus. I snooped around a bit and got a lot of different opinions. A lot of our furniture is becoming available at different times, so being able to do a trip this week and then two months from now would be a huge benefit. We're considering Zipcar because it's relatively inexpensive, they carry large vehicles and we don't have to manically schedule everything into one trip ala UHaul.

Now, I'm not against trying to get a mattress home on the subway, but 3 mattresses and a couch? No way.

This usually wouldn't be an issue except we're car-less and in New York. What's more, in a few weeks we'll have to move our own Queen sized mattress as well as a couch and some other large-sized furniture items. My wife and I just moved into a new apartment with a couple of folks from Europe.
