With Zipcar, you can choose from 3 different plans to suit your driving needs but we understand choosing one might be difficult!

Driving rates are from £9/hr and £85/day.
With as little as £10 you can apply to be part of Zipcar’s car club and join thousands of happy customers across the UK. The Basic membership is the perfect way to get you started and you will receive the £10 application fee in driving credit once approved! Already a member? Find out below why you should try our Smart or Plus memberships and start saving even more.
Driving rates are from £7/hr and £68/day for £6 a month.
If you use Zipcar more than once or drive more than 105 minutes per month, you can save more on each trip, making your journeys even more affordable and what’s best? You will get the £6 monthly fee back into your account as driving credit! The Smart membership is ideal for people who will use Zipcar for a couple of trips per month such as visiting friends and family, running errands, avoiding train strikes, airport trips or 5 am workouts.
Driving rates are from £6/hr and £60/day for £15 a month.
If you are a frequent driver you can benefit from greater savings and even more affordable driving rates! Like the Smart plan, you will get your £15 monthly fee back into your account as driving credit! The Plus membership is ideal for people who will use Zipcar for an on-going basis, have joint accounts with friends or family or want to reduce costs by renting Zipcar vs. owning a car.
Here is a guide that will help you understand better our rate plans and which one will suit your needs best! We have outlined the frequently asked questions from our customers below.

If you would like to upgrade your account to Smart or Plus you can call us or email us and get assisted support.
If you cancel and end your membership now, you can still access it until the end of your next billing cycle. We are unable to provide a partial or full refund of any damage protection or membership fees. If you have any questions, please visit our Help Centre.
To join an existing account you will need to be an approved Zipcar member. The holder of the account needs to add a member using the email address of the account they wish to add. There is then the option to include damage protection to the account being added. The invitee will receive an email detailing that they have been added to an account, with the option to accept this request. When joining an existing account the account holder will be responsible for all billing matters, so you will not need any additional payment information. Click here for more information.
Currently, there is not a free trial membership for the paid plans but with only a £10 application fee, you can test out the Basic plan! Once approved, you get your £10 back in driving credit but if you would prefer to get lower rates per hour and day, you can easily upgrade to Smart or Plus.
Zipcar is the perfect solution when you need to reserve a car for weekend trips, go to the airport, or when your mate invites you to last-minute adventures. The best part is that we cover everything but the driving which gives you the flexibility to book a car when you need it most at your nearest location.
