Zipcar opens location at Hartsfield-Jackson

Car sharing business Zipcar said it is opening a location at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The move adds another option for travelers, particularly those who want to rent cars by the hour during a long layover.

Zipcar will have three cars next to the Avis location at the airport’s remote rental car center accessible by SkyTrain people-mover. The company, which was acquired by Avis Budget Group Inc. in March and now operates as a subsidiary, has about 100 cars throughout the Atlanta area.

The addition of the Hartsfield-Jackson location is part of a broader expansion to a total of 11 Zipcar airport locations around the country.

Rentals start at $9 to $12 per hour and $69 to $89 per day. Zipcar has a Toyota Prius, a Honda Civic and a Mazda3 hatchback at Hartsfield-Jackson, according to a spokeswoman. The rental rates include gasoline for up to 180 miles. Rentals require a Zipcar membership — A membership for occasional driving, for example, requires an insurance check for $25 and a $60 annual fee.
