How Flex works
Zipcar Flex is our one-way option, like a self-drive taxi. Ideal when you need to pick up a car in one destination and drop it off in another. Once you’ve joined, hitting the road is simple. Reserve your one-way Flex trip in our app
Find and reserve
Find your nearest Flex car in the app – just look for the blue pins (there’s thousands of them). You reserve it and we’ll hold it for 15 minutes.
Unlock and drive
Unlock the car with the Zipcar app (you'll find the keys in the glove box). Fuel and insurance are all taken care of.
Drop
When you’re done drop your Flex car off in our Zipzone. The Zone covers 15 boroughs in London, Heathrow T5 and Gatwick North Terminal.
