Living in the Mission, Zipcar hasn't cut it for me but Lyft has changed my world! I initially was stoked by Zipcar but there's virtually nowhere in SF you want to go to where parking is not a major issue.
With Lyft, they're brought the prices down enough so that I'm no longer thinking "can I afford to go there", lyfts become an impulse purchase. Mission to Soma is like, $6 - $8. Mission to Richmond is $15, Mission to Chinatown is $12 or so. If you're going with 2 or 3 friends, then it's basically about the same price as public transit.
Disclaimer: I'm friends with several of the Zimride staff but I'd equally be a fan, even if I weren't.
