How much does Zipcar cost?

Zipcar memberships start at $7 a month or $70 a year. Reserve cars by the hour or by the day. Gas, insurance options,* and 180 miles per day are all included in membership. Other fees, such as a young driver fee, may apply. Price it out

How soon can I drive with Zipcar?

First, sign up for membership. Most members are approved instantly and can book their first daily or hourly car rental within minutes but in some cases, it may take a little longer to check your driving record. As soon as you're approved, you can book a Zipcar near you and use our car rental app to unlock and lock during your trip. We'll also mail you a Zipcard—an access card to any Zipcar vehicle you reserve. It arrives in 5-7 business days. Until it does, it's better to book cars and trips in places where your phone has service.
