Zipcar, the car-sharing service that allows customers to rent wheels by the hour with outlandish names like Melgaard (a Mazda 3) and Scrod (a Volvo S40), is expanding, parking problems notwithstanding.

Zipcar, which recently merged with Flexcar and says it's the "world's largest car sharing and car club provider," signed a five-year for 7,500 square feet at 1265 Broadway, also home to Oakwood Worldwide.

That's a 500 percent jump in size from its previous 1,500-square-foot space at 120 West 24th Street.

Congrats, Zipcar! Now, if you would only lower your prices, so we could afford to use you again.  read more »
