For me IKEA is the only place I can buy furniture. I've been to so many furniture stores and all of them sell ugly and too fancy bs. Thank IKEA for being the only store in the US who sells European Style furniture.

my huge problem with zipcar, is they don't do one way rentals. I would think there are plenty of people who may need a car to get from point a to point b, not just from (A) to (B) to (A) again.

I assume for that reason, it doesn't make much sense to have zipcars at the ikea, because who'd want to have to return the car back to ikea and then take the bus back home?

Yeah, but you'll have to pay for the rental up to the time they open shop and retrieve the keys. That can make it more expensive than renting in the city, where they tend to stay open longer. I've done that annoying calculation more times than I would like.

And I agree they should do both, as you said, but I think I've found out why it's

Thanks for your posts, Mides and City. I saw an Enterprise key-drop at a Metro-North station last weekend, so that's how you return a car at 10PM: park it at the station and put the key in the drop.

I agree with you that it's silly for Metro-North to cancel the Zipcar contract. Why not do both?

You know, I joined a few months ago. I decided if I rent a car once a year in the region it's worth the money as they are way ahead of traditional rental agencies in convenience and technology. And they used to have cars at metro north lots, which made all the sense in the world, but apparently metro north has canceled that, giving the business to dusty old Enterprise instead (good luck
