ZIPCAR - How it works

Full Description

4 Simple Steps to Zipcar Freedom

1. join

Apply in the app and drive in minutes. Or apply online. Once approved, we'll send you a Zipcard to access vehicles worldwide.

2. reserve

Book a Zipcar for as little as 1 hour or as long as 7 days.

3. unlock

Hold your Zipcard to the car's windshield—or tap the app—to unlock. Voila! It's all yours.

4. drive

Hit the road. When you're done, park the car in its reserved spot and use your Zipcard or the app to lock up.

Car Sharing from Zipcar - What's Included

The beauty of car sharing is that it just makes sense. It’s there when you need it and not when you don’t. Just imagine never having to make a car payment, pay an auto insurance bill, or worry about the cost of gas again. Hallelujah.

Gas, insurance & daily mileage are on us

We throw in all the fixins: gas, comprehensive insurance, and up to 180 miles/day (Of course if you go antiquing, that armoire is on you.)

Your very own Zipcard

Be a card-carrying Zipster. This magical card unlocks thousands of cars (and exclusive deals) in cities around the world.

The mobile app that makes you mobile

You can join Zipcar, then find, book, and unlock a car—all in our app. Technology is amazing.
