FLEXCARInformation concerning the Flexcar program
Dear Campus Car Program Participant:
Are you aware Flexcar and Zipcar, two of the leading car-sharing organizations, have merged? Due to this merger, the Georgia Tech car-sharing program will experience a few changes.
The most obvious will be the exchange of Flexcar for Zipcar logos. Once contract negotiations between Tech and Zipcar have ended, the Campus Car Program may also experience change. Until that time, and in order to assist us with future program continuation, please be aware that only the first two hours of Campus Car usage per day will remain free of charge. Daily usage exceeding two hours will be invoiced to the program participant.
Once details of the merger and its impact to the entire Georgia Tech car-sharing program are finalized, you will be notified immediately.
Questions and concerns may be directed to < mailto:info.transportation@parking.gatech.edu >info.transportation@parking.gatech.edu.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we all await the merger details.

This program provides members access to a variety of new, fuel-efficient vehicles conveniently located throughout midtown and downtown, as well as around campus. Studies have shown that one shared car can take the place of nearly fifteen privately-owned cars!
