Taxis
As the cost of taxis continues to increase, Mint can be more cost effective and flexible for shopping trips, nights on the town or just visiting a friend for a few hours. Most round trip taxi fares cost $25-$50 and only includes point-to-point transportation. For the same cost, you can use Mint for approximately 5 hours, drive yourself and make multiple stops throughout your trip!
24-Hour Car Rental
Unless you're going on a roadtrip for several days, most trips around the metro area take approximately 3-5 hours. So why pay for a 24-hour rate when you can drive a Mint vehicle and only pay for the hours you actually use.
Car Ownership
Owning a car in New York City is crazy. Estimates reveal that the annual cost for owning a car may exceed $12,000 per year including parking, insurance and gas. With Mint, you have the same convenience of owning your own car, but you only pay for the time you use it. Even those members that drive frequently report that they save more than 60% over the cost of owning a car.
Public Transporation
Public transportation is the lifeline of New York and serves multiple purposes for travelers and commuters. However, getting to locations that public transportation does not serve and carrying groceries and shopping bags on the train or bus can be a hassle. With Mint you can get to your destination easily without having to fight the crowds.
