In the greater Boston area, I think I've only seen Zipcar spots on private property (though I'm not sure what the ownership is of the MBTA parking spaces) and I would expect the rate to be somewhat negotiable, based on supply & demand for the neighborhood.

There are car sharing services in Seattle that operate much like the scooters and bikes (park them in any city space, pay just for when you use, etc). The city charges a flat rate per car per month. Like dockless bike share it ends up being way more useful.

I love Car2Go here in Austin.

They pay the city some flatrate per year, and so car2go can park anywhere in public street parking without paying meters.

Enterprise has a few streetside too. Almost assuredly, these companies pay Philly for the rights to that those marked spots.
