Car2Go has some major downsides that Zipcar doesn't:
1. All the cars are Smart cars. If a Smart car can get me by, I can just take an Uber and not have to worry about parking. Zipcar has actual, streetworthy cars at cheaper rates and a wider variety.
2. With Zipcar, I know where the cars are. The cars live somewhere. They have a home. They don't all disappear when I might need one.
3. Although this is a minor point, the RFID frequency on the Car2Go card is the same as the ORCA card so they can't live harmoniously in the same wallet. The Zipcard is a different frequency so there's no issue.
4. Car2Go does not come with Van2Go. Every so often, Zipvan makes my life so much better.
5. Round trips are a non issue. I live in one place so I use the Zipcars nearby for my driving errands. For one way trips, like my commute, I can walk. For one way trips to a drinking excursion, there's Uber. But I mainly drink within stumbling distance of home.
