Let's face it: College is expensive. Most people are lucky to escape their higher education with only a small pile of debt to repay, and the cost of living forces most people to take out loans for that as well. One thing that many college students forgo in order to save as much money as possible is having a set of wheels on campus to get around.

Fortunately, Ford and Zipcars have teamed up so that college students can at least enjoy a nice stable form of cheap transportation while studying for their degree. We here at Freedom Ford think that this is an incredible idea, but just what does this new partnership entail? Let's find out!

First, we should explain exactly what Zipcars is. They're one of the largest car-sharing services in the United States today. They offer a wide range of models for college students to choose from, including the Ford Focus and Ford Escape. But, they're offering of Ford models isn't where this partnership ends.

Rather, the American automaker is offering $10 off of the already reasonable annual fee (normally $35), as well as $1 off of the hourly rate for using any one of the 650 Ford cars that have been supplied. Next year that number is expected to grow to a total of 1,000 Ford models supplied, which only further cements the incredible partnership that these two companies carry.

Of course, if you want a new Ford to keep all to yourself, we won't judge. Rather, we highly encourage you to check out our great selection of both new and used Ford models that we carry here at 7520 N. Military Highway Norfolk, VA 23518.
