Zipcar and Enterprise Car Club are both popular car rental platforms offering app-based transport solutions. Whilst Enterprise is a traditional car rental service, Zipcar is a car-sharing club that provides greater flexibility, vehicle options and convenience. Zipcar has features like minute, hourly or daily rentals and access to a great variety of vehicle types - from small, city cars, to SUVs and vans. Zipcar also has two options: book in advance with a Roundtrip, or reserve when you're ready to go with a Flex. Zipcar caters to a wider range of times and instances when you'd need to get around.
With Zipcar the price you pay at the point of booking a Roundtrip is what you'll pay - there are no hidden fees! For the one-way Flex option, you just pay by the minute/hour/day, depending on how long you take it for. Again, no hidden fees. Instead, Zipcar provides lots of inclusions. Every Zipcar trip also includes fuel, insurance and 24/7 breakdown cover.
Together with Enterprise Car Club, Zipcar often offers Electric Vehicle (EV) options, which contribute to a reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars. Zipcar's Electric Vehicles Vs have different charging requirements than gas-powered vehicles. Check out our EV glossary here and get confident with our quick guide.
