How to “pahk the cah at Havahd Yahd” or “park the car at Havard Yard”

Boston is famous for its distinctive accent and infamous for hard-to-find public parking – hence the title of this blog post. If you are a resident, or about to be a resident, you will find that insurance costs, monthly parking arrangements and parking tickets get to be quite expensive.

One popular solution to this problem is ZipCar. This membership-based rental company allows you to find and book cars within your neighborhood for hourly or daily fees. The hourly costs (from $7 -$14.25) include gas and insurance. The cars include the Toyota Prius, Honda CR-V, BMW 328 and Mini Cooper Convertible.

So, if you live and Boston and only need a car for the grocery store or the occasional ski trip, this might be the answer for you. Find out more about the cars and membership benefits at ZipCar.com.
