We have been able to get cars on weekends (Sundays, to be precise), but unless we reserve in advance, we don't get a choice. I haven't tried at other times yet, but they seem to be available on weeknights. There are about a dozen zipcars at two or three locations.
Cab fare is about $7 from the one store that doesn't deliver. I tend to go to other stores, who deliver for about $3 plus tips. If we went to a big box store (Home Depot, for example), it would probably cost us about $20 to go back home. Zipcars are $13/hour.
I use Zipcars for Sundays when we can't get a rental any other way, and - well, last time was a couple of weeks ago when they were predicting heavy snow on Monday. By using a zipcar, we could put the car back in its home garage Sunday night instead of worrying about getting it back the next morning. I also like that I could get a car very quickly in case of a family emergency.
