This week, Avis announced plans to buy Zipcar, the nation's largest car-sharing service, for $491.2 million. Under the terms of the deal, Zipcar, which opened its doors in 2000 and has 760,000 members nationwide, will become a subsidiary of the car rental giant. Unlike traditional car rental agencies, which typically rent their cars out by the day, car-sharing services such as Zipcar typically rent vehicles out on an hourly basis.
