Managing the drivers on your account

As the account admin, you may want to add (or remove) your team members as drivers on your account. Here’s how.

Adding a driver

You can add as many drivers to your account as you need, at only £12/driver). It’s easy to do, here’s how:
•    Log in to your Zipcar account on desktop
•    Head to    ‘my stuff’ > ‘my account’ > ‘invite employees’ 
•    In the invite employees section, just add the e-mail address of the member of staff
•    They’ll then be sent an e-mail with a link to join the account

They then accept & join

•    They'll receive the email, then just need to click the link to complete a Zipcar application through our registration pages.  
•    Here they just input some details, and upload a picture of the front and back of their license, and a selfie of them holding their drivers licence. 
•    The admin will then receive an e-mail to confirm the new driver onto the account. 
•    The admin should click on the email to approve them, and once this is done our license team will conduct the relevant checks and send them a welcome e-mail.
•    If they already have a Zipcar membership we’ll need to add them on manually. It’s really quick – the driver needs to just contact us on [email protected] or via 0203 004 7816.

Billing and invoices

My statement 

This holds all the information you need to manage your account effectively. Here you can:
•    look at the present statement of usage
•    go back in time to view usage over prior months
•    you can even filter down the statement to individual drivers
•    the statement view will also show if you have any additional usage i.e. extended reservations. Please note, these come through as a separate transactions.
•    If you click on the reservation and select ‘reservation total cost’ you will be able to see a breakdown of all the transactions which took place against that trip.

VAT invoices

VAT invoices

VAT invoices are generated the day after your monthly billing period ends. We'll send you, as admin, an e-mail to alert you that the VAT invoice is ready. You can download it as a PDF easily by:
•    Heading to the ‘my statement’ view, and click the button at the top right called ‘VAT invoice’ 
•    Once it has loaded you can select to print the invoice and save it as a PDF.
 

Please note, your billing period starts of the day of the month. For example, if you joined on 10th March, your billing period for the first month will be 10th March - 9th April, then second month 10th April - 9th May, and so on.

Charges on the account

Charges on the account 

If a driver incurs a late return fee or has parked in an incorrect bay you may see a charge for a Parking or Traffic violation associated with a reservation. This will be issued by a local authority or parking service. Please note: every time we are alerted to a violation, we contact the driver responsible. If you require more information on violations, we encourage you to speak to the driver directly or contact [email protected].
If you notice that your usage follows a certain pattern or need to talk to us about a permanent vehicle we can discuss a dedicated solution, just call us on 0203 004 7816 or drop us an e-mail at [email protected]
