Zipcar is a car-sharing service that lets members reserve vehicles by the hour or day in cities and on university campuses, with gas, insurance and reserved parking included. It offers plans for individuals, students and businesses as an alternative to owning or traditional rental. Deals above are taken from Zipcar's own website and checked before we publish them.
Apply online or in the Zipcar app to become a member (a non-refundable $25 application fee applies for standard members). Once approved, reserve a nearby Zipcar by the hour or day, unlock it with the app or your Zipcard, drive, and return it to its reserved parking spot.
Shipping options and costs are shown at the Zipcar checkout; many orders qualify for free standard delivery above a minimum spend.
Zipcar reservations are hourly/daily rentals rather than purchases. Return the car to its reserved spot by the end of your reservation. Late returns are charged $50 per late hour (or part thereof), up to a maximum of $150 per late return. You can end or adjust a reservation in the app subject to Zipcar's reservation policies.
