13. Carsharing
For short-term car rentals, an hourly car share with numerous locations around the city certainly beats a traditional car rental, and can be more affordable than taxi or ride share. Zipcar is the most famous player. Enterprise Car-Share was a robust competitor, but their car share program in New York City has ended.
Zipcar, Getaround and TruqIt customers can use special NYC DOT parking spots reserved just for carshares. The DOT introduced the first 80 spots Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, and plan to add more.
