October 10th marks World Mental Health Day, a time to reflect on the importance of mental wellness and self-care. This year, Zipcar has partnered with Happy Box, a leading personalized gifting service, to create a unique experience that will brighten the day for student members.  

This Mental Health Day, Zipcar members at University of California Berkeley, Harvard University, MIT, University of Michigan and Stanford University will find a delightful surprise waiting for them when they pick up their Zipcars: thoughtfully curated care packages designed to support mental well-being. When you book a Zipcar, check your dashboard or passenger seat—your surprise box may be waiting for you! 

What’s Inside the Surprise Boxes? 

Happy Box and Zipcar carefully handpicked items to promote relaxation, mindfulness and joy. The contents of each box are meant to bring a smile Zipcar members and encourage moments of self-care, including: 

• Self-care Playlist: Select tunes for a happy drive to wherever your Zipcar takes you 

• Calm Balms: Aromatic essentials to calm your body and mind 

• Snacks: Delicious, feel-good treats to enjoy on the road 

• Relax Puzzle: Zone out while putting pieces together to create a beautiful puzzle 

At Zipcar, we believe that transportation should be about more than just getting from Point A to Point B. It’s about making life easier, more flexible, and a bit more enjoyable. This World Mental Health Day, we want to go beyond convenience and remind our members that we support their well-being. 

Happy Box shares a similar mission—to bring moments of happiness to people’s lives, one thoughtfully curated box at a time. Together, we are reminding our community to take a pause and focus on mental health, even if it’s just for a few minutes. 

If you receive a Happy Box, we’d love to hear from you! Share your unboxing moments with us on social media using @Zipcar @HappyBox #ZipcarHappyBox #MentalHealthDay. Let’s spread the message that prioritizing mental health is important for everyone. Stay well and drive happy!
