What is an application fee?

The fee is paid to apply to Zipcar on the Basic rate plan, to cover administration costs incurred by us as a company. All applications are thoroughly checked by our teams to ensure all requirements are met to approve members and keep our vehicles and membership safe. Once the application is submitted and the fee is paid, regardless of the outcome of the application, it is non-refundable due to costs being incurred during the application checking stage before account approval.
