If you are involved in an accident you will be charged up to the maximum amount of your Damage Fee unless you have purchased a DFW. The Damage Fee is subject to change at Zipcar's discretion. Please see the Rate Schedule applicable to your driving plan for your current maximum Damage Fee. Please note that, as provided in Section 5.1 of the Contract, a Member may be responsible for all applicable damages and costs, including those in excess of the applicable Damage Fee, arising from the Member's failure to comply with the terms of the Contract. Applies to both Zipcar Roundtrip & Zipcar Flex vehicles.

5. General Fee

For any violation of Zipcar Rules, Members may be charged a general fee of up to £150 per violation. In addition, the Member may be charged for any costs incurred by Zipcar (including all repair and recovery costs, legal fees, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) (a) anytime a visit to the vehicle is required as a result of Rules violation or otherwise as the result of actions of the Member or (b) for any other failure by a Member to comply with any provision of the Contract or the Rules, other than those Rules for which a specific fee or charge is specifically provided in the Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will be charged a fee for any oversight, omission, or negligence on your part that inconveniences Zipcar or other Members, such as failing to return or losing the keys to a vehicle, failing to turn off a vehicle's headlights, failing to plug in an electric-powered vehicle at the end of reservation, causing or permitting damage to a vehicle which requires repair or cleaning of such vehicle (internal or external), returning a vehicle to the wrong place or leaving the car in a restricted parking zone, not paying a parking ticket, failing to advise Zipcar immediately of any theft, vandalism or damage relating to the vehicle, etc. Members charged for such costs shall be entitled to an itemized list of charges.
