ZipCar: Rent Cars by Hour or Day

What is ZipCar?

ZipCar is a pioneering car sharing company that was founded in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts. It operates an automated car rental service where members can reserve cars by the hour or day via a website, iOS/Android app, or phone, unlocking them with a membership card. ZipCar has become the world's largest car sharing service and is now available in over 500 cities and towns across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

With ZipCar, members pay an annual fee and then can rent cars on demand from their neighborhoods, university campuses, offices, or public transit stations. Rates start from $9 per hour and include gas, insurance, reserved parking spots, and up to 180 miles per day. Members choose cars via the ZipCar website or app based on location and need - options range from small hatchbacks and hybrid/electric vehicles through to pickup trucks, luxury vehicles, cargo vans, and more. Convenient features include in-vehicle GPS and Bluetooth connectivity.

A major benefit of using ZipCar is convenience and cost savings versus car ownership with no commitments, monthly payments, parking hassles, or maintenance responsibilities. It provides an economical, efficient, eco-friendly alternative to taxis or rental cars for city-dwellers, university students, businesses, and organizations. With operations continually expanding globally, ZipCar furthers its goal of enabling simple and responsible urban living.
