Zip On The Fly: Zipcar Finally Unveils iPhone App

June 9, 2009 at 9:07 AM | by JetSetCD | 1 Comment

In case you live under a rock (one without WiFi), yesterday's big news was the announcement of Apple's newest products and upgrades at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. But tucked into the Keynote presentation was a bit about our beloved car sharing service, Zipcar, and its upcoming new iPhone application. ,

We can't wait for the release (any day) of this baby, and you know we'll be giving it a literal test drive. The functions to find, choose and reserve a car are simple enough, but it's the remote capabilities that really rev our engines. To start, the iPhone app will locate your whereabouts and display nearby available Zipcars on a map.

Choosing a pinpoint will show available cars, with all the information on each that the website provides—you can even favorite cars for later. Reserve your car and a confirmation will be returned as normal, just in the palm of your hand.
