zipcar or igo?

Now that I no longer own a car, I was wondering if anyone had any insight on which service they prefer to use. Prices and locations seem similar.

iGo is in partnership with the CTA and has gaudy, sometimes uneven & poorly affixed bumper stickers all over them.

Zipcar is who I have, and their advertising is minimal plus NONE on the nice cars (BMW, etc)

A bicycle built for a view

I-GO will again provide support-and-gear cars for Bike the Drive, the Active Transportation Alliance's awe-inspiring annual fundraiser, on May 29, when thousands of cyclists take over a blissfully car-free Lake Shore Drive for an entire Sunday morning. I-GO members get $5 off registration at www.bikethedrive.org with code IGO5. That'll snag you a T-shirt and access to rest stops and the post-ride fest, where ATA will dish out breakfast and live entertainment.
