How soon can I drive with Zipcar?
First, sign up for membership. Most members are approved instantly and can book a trip 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 Zipcars by the hour or day and use the 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 will be in range.
