You can find and reserve Zipcars while walking down the street. You can honk your Zipcar's horn from across the car park. You can even use it to make pancakes! (Just kidding. But hey, two outta three.) If you haven't yet, download the Zipcar App for free. As you use the app, please keep carrying your Zipcard. That way, if your iPhone runs out of juice, isn't getting service, or gets lost or stolen, you can use your trusty Zipcard to keep on zippin'. Scan your card once at the start of each reservation, then for the rest of the trip you can lock and unlock the car with just the iPhone. (Pssst. You don't need your Zipcard to honk.) We worked hard on this app and hope you love it. If you have a chance, swing by the App StoreSM to rate and review us. Not rocking the iPhone?

I guess that Ziptrip didn't mean as much to you as it did to us. (Sigh.) We'll forgive you as long as you remember to scan out with your Zipcard at the end of your reservation. Just a quick little kiss goodbye is all we ask for. You see, if you just leave and forget to scan out, then you might get charged a late fee, and we might start worrying and asking our friends if you really like us, and then no one's happy. So scan out, pretty please. (If you're using the Zipcar App for the iPhone or iPod touch®, you can lock up with the virtual key fob and skip this step.) filling 'em up We like tea and coffee, and when it's hot you may find us sipping on a cool lemonade by the river, but our Zipcars they like something different. Their tipple of choice is unleaded petrol only. Not the premium stuff, just plain old unleaded. So next time you fill 'er up, double check and remember they all like the same.   Our Zipcar vans however, they like diesel. You'll find this clearly indicated on the reservation instructions when you make your reservation. set us up with your friend Your friend has probably seen Zipcars around town (looking pretty shiny, if we do say so ourselves). Maybe they've even wondered what we're like. (Cute, fun and reliable? Sounds like a keeper.) So how about hooking us up? Refer a friend to Zipcar and it could be a long-term relationship. You'll get credit for playing matchmaker, £50 driving credit to be exact. (And that's £50 for every friend you refer who joins.) Sound good? Then refer a friend now. And if it all works out, we'll invite you to the wedding. goodies Our mantra is "we love our Zipsters" so we've some extra goodies to tickle your fancy this month! As always, if you're lucky enough, they'll be waiting for you in the glove box during your next reservation, so don't forget to check. To celebrate the launch of the Zipcar App for the iPhone, you may find some iTunes® vouchers waiting for you. Alternatively, if you're looking to spruce up your home, hopefully you'll see an IKEA® voucher sitting there winking at you. Don't worry, if it's not your day, we love you anyway.
