How Zipcar works
Flex vs Roundtrip
Join online and you'll get access to thousands of our cars and vans throughout London. How you use them is up to you – we have two options to choose from.
Flex is our one-way service. Just look for the blue pin in the app, reserve and drive then just drop in our Zipzone across London. Perfect for spontaneous one-way trips around the city, starting from 32p per minute.
With Roundtrip pick your car up from its dedicated bay – you’ll find them all over London. Use the app to find any green pin near you, book and drive by the hour or day - starting from £6 per hour or from £60 per day. Park in the same bay you picked your Zipcar up from.
Booking a trip
Book a Roundtrip or reserve a Flex car straight away via the app. Want to shop ‘til you drop (it off)? Take a Flex when you’re ready – we’ll hold the car for 15 minutes. Or for the perfect getaway car, book a Roundtrip up to a year in advance.

Becoming a Zipcar member
Valid driver’s licence? Over 25? Just pick a plan and join online. International drivers can apply too. Run a business? Check out Zipcar for Business.
Pick a plan
You’ve got a choice of 3 plans: Basic has no monthly fee, Smart is £6/month and Plus is £15/month. Just pick whichever suits how often you need wheels.
A few checks
To keep our Zipcar community safe, we check your driving record and verify your identity. This normally takes as little as 2 hours, but in some cases can take a couple of days.
Hit the road
Once you’re approved, you can start searching for cars and book straight away with the Zipcar app.
What you will need:
- A clear selfie holding a valid driver’s licence
- Valid debit or credit card
Our Community Rules
Before you hit the road, read our community rules of car-sharing.
Return it right
Keep it clean
Clean up, don’t smoke and take everything with you. Don’t forget to recycle your rubbish!
Fill ‘er up
If fuel is below ¼ tank at the end of your trip, fill up before you return to it’s bay. Fuel's on us!
