NYCHA & Zipcar

Why Zipcar?

Join to reserve wheels when you want them, by the hour or day, and only pay for the time you drive.

Save money

Zipcar covers gas, insurance, parking, and maintenance for a potential savings of $700/month over car ownership.

Cars near you

Zipcars live in your local neighborhood, and in cities, campuses and airports across the globe.

Drive on-demand

No waiting in line at the counter. (No need to even search for your keys!) Just book and go.

Go beyond public transit

Zipcar is the perfect complement to the bus and train—whether it’s local errands or weekend adventures.
