Why swipe a MetroCard when you can rent a car for the same two bucks?
That’s the sales pitch being offered by Mint, a new car-rental service in the city that is offering weekday rentals starting at $2 an hour.
Mint charges a $25 membership fee, but then its fleet of economy cars, including the Smart Car, are available for the price of a gallon of gas.
The promotional offer is available only Mondays through Thursdays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., until June 1. After that, the hourly rate will be closer to $10.
The first 180 miles driven are free.
