At Zipcar, our car-sharing movement has always been about building community. We believe that should include everyone so, since our inception, we have proudly supported LGBTQ organizations and Pride events as a way to accelerate change.

Zipcar and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) today announced a unique partnership that equips 200 Zipcars in Massachusetts with annual state park passes, enabling residents and visitors to explore the outdoors.

Zipcar has teamed up with Washington State Parks, making it possible for Seattleites to enjoy time outside the city without owning a car. Zipcar and Washington State Parks have set up 100 cars in Seattle as “adventure-ready” vehicles that have a Discover Pass on board for Zipcar members who want to visit state parks. The Discover Pass is required for vehicle access to parks and other state-managed recreation lands.
