How many miles are included?

No matter where or how long you drive, 180 miles are included per day for most membership plans. Any overage is billed at $.58 per mile. Learn more.

Is gas included?

Gas is on us! Need to fill up during your reservation? Just use the gas card found behind the driver’s side visor in your Zipcar. Every car should have at least ¼ tank to start (so kindly bring yours back that way, too.)
