Who is booking cars on saturday for weeks in a row in Teele Sq?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : zipcar : One Thread

I just tried to book a zip car in teele sq for sat and it was not available. Went to the following saturday and it was booked as well. The teele sq golf is unavailailable on a saturday until the 12th of april. IT is booked for the same block of time each day. I think someone out there is booking the teele sq golf for weeks in a row to make sure that they always have a car available and can take their sweet time in planning their day. Chances are that when I check back tomorrow night, there will suddenly be availability in teele sq again. I have had this happen a few other times and am sick of it. To the person who is doing this: Knock it off! This is not what zip car is all about and it is incredibly unfair to the community of users out there who book zip cars responsibly! This kind of behavior is what usually ruins a good thing. Has anyone else noticed this in their area or in teele? IF so, PLEASE report it. I don't have a problem with people booking in advance if they actually have plans. I am pretty sure that is not the case here and that instead there is some IF(idiot F***) not following proper etiquette!

ZipCar does monitor reservation and cancellation activity to identify abusers of the liberal cancellation policy. They do reserve the right to warn and/or terminate the membership of anyone who makes a habit of hogging reservation times without using them. I have no info about this case, but it is just possible that this member is actually using the car a whole lot. In that case, another space will be sought out to meet the demand near Teele Square.
