We recently launched DivvyCar.com and are excited about it! So what is divvy car? Let me explain.

Basically, Zipcar rocks for regular people who need a vehicle occasionally. But Zipcar kinda sucks for formal, closed communities. (I’m not crapping on Zipcar. I’m probably going to be a Zipcar customer in the next month so I’m glad they’re around.)

For example, the Cristalla condominium in Seattle wanted their own private Zipcar for their residents, but it was waaaaay expensive and the condo association was losing a ton of money each month. So instead they switched to using divvy to share their own private vehicle. This is an awesome feature for the residents (in addition to other benefits which I’ll mention soon) and ended up breaking even instead of being a major expense.

Having a private vehicle for employee or member use  is perfect for businesses, churches, coworking spaces, condos and anyone seeking LEED certification. (If you’re a developer, you can earn a point towards your LEED certification by providing a private community vehicle.)

With divvy car, your organization can take control and choose any vehicle you want (a truck, van, smart car, anything!), get your own insurance and gas card (we help you figure out how) and then set up the car on divvy for your community or coworkers to reserve.

If you’re interested in setting up your own divvy car, check out the site and let us know if we can be of any help to you.
