Use new app on your iPhone to reserve a Zipcar

Zipcar Inc., the Cambridge-based car-sharing service, today announced the immediate availability of the free Zipcar App for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store.

"The Zipcar App enables users to find and reserve Zipcars around the corner or across the globe in just a few taps," the company said in a press release. "The first and only car-sharing technology of its kind, the Zipcar App also allows users to sort cars by time, model, or type, and while in a reservation, even honk, unlock, and lock the vehicle with their iPhone or iPod touch."
