The benefits of car sharing with Zipcar
Who needs their own car in the city when you can get access to wheels when you want them? Join Zipcar and you’ll have all the perks of owning a car, without the hassle and cost of running one! We’re all about making city living simpler, cheaper, greener and, well, a bit more fun.
Save money
Our members tell us they save around £300 a month compared to owning their own car by using Zipcar. Fuel, insurance, Congestion Charge and 24/7 assistance are all included.
Locations near you
Over 3,000 cars and vans live in London and Heathrow T5. You’ll spot them in your local area and all around the capital, as well as other cities and airports across the globe. Find Zipcars near you.
Going green
Each Zipcar takes 13 personally-owned cars off the road, so you’ll know you’re doing your bit for the environment. We’ve also got the largest shared fleet of electric cars in the UK.
Drive on demand
Sometimes you just need a car. With thousands of cars and vans to choose from, take your pick and drive your way, any time of day or night.
The future is here
Imagine a world with one million fewer cars on the road, and cities with more green space than multi-storey car parks. Imagine no more. We’re making this happen, today.
Future mode
10% of the population is expected to adopt car sharing as their main mode of transportation by 2025.
Reducing congestion
Every Zipcar takes 13 personally-owned vehicles off the road.
Lower emissions
By 2025 we predict 821 million fewer miles driven each year - saving 160,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Electric vehicles
We’ve already got 325 electric vehicles and by 2025 we’re aiming to have a completely electric fleet.
Go beyond public transport
We’re the perfect addition to buses, trains and bikes. Zipcar helps you load up flat pack furniture, shop ‘til you drop and pile everyone in for an out of town adventure.
The choice is yours
Zipcars come in all shapes and sizes—city runarounds, electric vehicles, spacious vans, luxury unbranded cars and more. Switch it up whenever you feel like it.
Zipcar vs car ownership
Lose the payments, keep the car.
Owning a car:
Pricey monthly car payments.
One car, set features, no surprises.
Expensive monthly insurance payments.
Money out of pocket and time out of your day.
Filling it up every week really adds up.
Drive around in circles or pray to the parking gods.
Pay hefty airport parking or transfers.

Is fuel included?
It sure is. Just use the fuel card on the side of the dashboard when you need to fill up. Every car should have at least ¼ tank to start with (please bring yours back that way, too.) Our e-Golfs are charged overnight, so they’re good to go whenever you are.
How many miles are included?
60 miles each day – no matter where you drive. Extra miles cost from £0.25 per mile. Learn more. We also cover your Congestion Charge, and all our vehicles are ULEZ compliant – so everything’s taken care of.
How does Zipcar insurance coverage work?
All Zipcar members in good standing have third party auto liability. Members are responsible for a £750 damage fee (£1,000 for higher risk members) per incident, which can be reduced or eliminated with an optional damage fee waiver. Learn more.
