Zipcar is expanding its hourly car rental empire to the airport, with reservations being taken at eight new airports beginning Thursday. Logan International Airport does not yet have service but will in the future, the company said.
Zipcar Inc., which became a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group Inc. earlier this year, brought car-sharing to the three New York-area airports – LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy, and Newark Liberty – in late March, and is now serving airports in Toronto, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Palm Beach, Austin, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Jose. The vehicles are located in Zipcar spaces next to the Avis pickup facility at each airport; they rent from $9-$12 an hour and $69-$89 per day.
Zipcar members can activate their reservations with a key card. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
