Zipcar ousts local PhillyCarShare as city's supplier

A Massachusetts-based for-profit service has passed local nonprofit PhillyCarShare as rental car supplier for the city of Philadelphia.

City Procurement Commissioner Hugh Ortman says the city used six to 10 cars a day from PhillyCarShare for a cost of about $35,000 a year.

Ortman says the city expects to use about the same number of cars from Cambridge-based Zipcar. But Ortman says the expected cost for Zipcar service will be about $30,000 a year. (AP)
