Zipcar Is Offering Free Chauffeured Rides For Pokémon Go Players In Boston
The Pokémon Go phenomenon continues to grow, as all sorts of businesses come up with creative ways to promote their services using the game. Zipcar is offering one such example this weekend with a free chauffeur service to help players become the very best.
Zipcar, which typically lets users rent a car to drive themselves around, is letting users reserve a driver so they can play Pokémon Go while moving around the city. This is a way to encourage players not to use the game while driving, which has been a major concern surrounding the game. Players can send out a tweet to @Zipcar with their time slot to reserve a car. The service will also supply snacks, water, and phone chargers for those hunting new Pokémon.
The chauffeur service is limited to Boston for now, and will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today. Pokémon Go is currently available on iOS and Android devices.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
