Live life on your own schedule using Zipcar, which gives you wheels when you want them. Being on campus without a car isn’t always easy. You can grab a bus, ride your bike, or get a lift from a friend. But sometimes you just need access to a car. That’s why we’ve brought Zipcar to the George Fox campus.
Zipcar is a service that gives students (18 years and older) access to shared cars parked right on campus (next to the security house in the Stevens Center parking lot). Cars are available by the hour or day, and gas and insurance are always included in the low rates.
So, the next time you want to get home to visit your parents or go out on a road trip with your friends, check out Zipcar. To celebrate the launch of Zipcar at George Fox, the first 200 students can now join Zipcar for $10.
Learn more or sign up today at zipcar.com/georgefoxstudents to take advantage of this great deal.
