What types of cars can I drive?

When booking a reservation, you can choose a car type to fit your needs or your mood—from compact sedans to larger cars or SUVs and even luxury vehicles, we’ve got you covered.

 

How many miles are included?

No matter where or how long you drive, 200 km are included per day for most membership plans. Any overage is billed at $.50 per km. Learn more.

Is gas included?

Gas is on us! Need to fill up during your reservation? Just use the gas card found behind the driver’s side visor in your Zipcar. Every car should have at least ¼ tank to start (so kindly bring yours back that way, too.)

 

How does Zipcar insurance coverage work?

All members in good standing have third party auto liability and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or "no-fault" coverage. A $1,000 damage fee may apply which you can reduce or eliminate by buying an optional waiver. More details.

Why Zipcar?

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