Supermarket trip

"I took a Zipcar trip to the supermarket, it was convenient because the car was parked right outside my house. I chose Zipcar because my friends told me how fantastic the service is!"

Eric, City of London

 

Transporting my urban jungle

"My favourite trip with Zipcar was from Colombia Road Flower Market. Zipcar was perfect for me - I got up early on a Sunday, took some cash and went plant shopping. I got over-excited and bought a massive selection of large and small plants. With heaving bags full of plants and a large plant in eachhought I needed a Zipcar van to rescue me! I found one just around the corner and loaded it with all my bargain finds. The van looked like a greenhouse on wheels and I got some funny looks at the traffic lights!"

Philip

 

Collecting my bike

"My first Zipcar trip was when I took a van to go and collect a bicycle. It worked out very cheaply! I chose Zipcar because the cars are great value, good quality, and well maintained."

Michelle, Islington

 

Garden centre run

"We went to a lovely little garden centre to shop for some plantsBookingok a van to get the job done was a great ideane. Our car would have been overflowing and plants potentially squished without the spacious comfort of the van! It was the perfect ending to a perfect day"

Perry, Lambeth

 

Stocking up on supplies

"The first Zipcar trip I took was a pay-per-minute Flex car. I drove it to Lidl to stock up the cupboards when we first moved into our new flat."

Omar, Greenwich

 

Shop hopping

"I always use Zipcar for my shopping! I like to visit different shops and having a car means I can go to all the shops I want, which are in different areas. Zipcar cars are good quality too!"

Stella, Tower Hamlets
