These terms and conditions shall serve to modify Zipcar’s standard membership contract (the “Membership Contract”) and shall constitute part of the Membership Contract.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Membership Contract to the contrary, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

  4. You shall be the only person permitted to operate the vehicle for purposes of transporting passengers for hire or making deliveries of goods in exchange for monetary value or other consideration. Operation of the vehicle for such purpose by anyone other than you is strictly prohibited. Associate Members are not permitted under the Uber Rental Program.

  7. Uber Rental Program rates shall include unlimited miles of driving.
  8. If you have rented an electric vehicle, you are responsible for returning the vehicle with at least a minimum twenty percent (20%) charge, but you are not responsible for the cost of EV charging.

  9. You will only be able to reserve certain vehicles that have been pre-approved for participation in the Uber Rental Program.

    1. Driving or operating the vehicle while using a hand-held wireless communication device or other device that is capable of receiving or transmitting telephonic communications, electronic data, mail or text messages shall be deemed a breach of the Membership Contract, provided, that you may use such devices solely for the purpose of using the Uber platform where permitted by law, in accordance with law, in accordance with the Uber terms and conditions and provided such device is safely secured in a mounting device.
    2. You use the vehicle to transport passengers for hire or make deliveries of goods in exchange for monetary value or other consideration other than via the Uber platform.
    3. The vehicle is used for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Uber Platform.
    4. You use the vehicle for a primary purpose other than to provide services for hire related to transporting passengers or delivering goods via the Uber platform.
  11. Provided you are otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Membership Contract, you will be protected against liability for causing bodily injury or death to others or property damage to others during Period 0 up to the minimum financial responsibility limits required by the law of the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs. You will be protected against liability for damaging the vehicle during Period 0 or Period 1 subject to a deductible of one thousand dollars ($1,000) to be paid by you to Zipcar. Please see the Uber terms and conditions for additional information regarding liability protection for which you may be eligible from Uber for (i) causing bodily injury or death to others or property damage to others during Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3 and (ii) damaging the vehicle during Period 2 and Period 3. As used herein, “Period 0” means the period during which you have taken possession of a Zipcar vehicle but are not logged in to the Uber platform. “Period 1” means the period during which you are logged into the Uber platform but have not accepted any requests for transportation services or delivery services. “Period 2” means the period during which you have accepted a request for transportation services or delivery services but do not have any passengers or goods to be delivered in the Zipcar vehicle. “Period 3” means the period during which you have at least one passenger occupying, entering, or exiting the Zipcar vehicle or goods to be delivered in the Zipcar vehicle.
  12. You agree that we can provide coverage under a certificate of self-insurance or an insurance policy, or both, as we choose. In any case, a copy of the policy and/or certificate will be available for your inspection at our main office. You understand that unless required by applicable law, we will not provide (i) coverage for fines, penalties, punitive or exemplary damages; (ii) coverage for bodily injury to you, or your death while not a driver, or any member of your family or the driver’s family related by blood, marriage or adoption residing with you or them; or the drivers family, or to a fellow employee arising out of or in the course of employment; (iii) defense against any claim, unless we are required to provide primary protection, but in such event not after the applicable limits of protection that we furnish are tendered; (iv) supplementary no fault, noncompulsory uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage, and any other optional or rejectable coverage, and you and we reject all such coverages to the extent permitted by law. Where any of these coverages are required or implied by law, the limits will be the minimum required under the applicable statute. Where permitted by law, you are rejecting uninsured or underinsured motorist coverages and under any policy of insurance or certificate of self-insurance in connection with the Membership Contract, for you and all other passengers in the vehicle. You understand that uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage protects you and other passengers in a vehicle for losses and damages suffered if injury is caused by the negligence of a driver who does not have any insurance or has insufficient insurance to pay for losses and damages. There is no coverage in Mexico, and the vehicle may not be taken into Mexico under any circumstances.
  13. Additional liability protection (optional supplemental liability insurance) shall not be available for purchase under the Uber Rental Program.
  14. You understand and agree that Uber or Zipcar may collect (i) any and all rental fees, security deposits, and rental charges identified in the Membership Contract and other fees associated with the vehicle rental, including taxes where applicable, in connection with the rental of the vehicle; and (ii) fees directly from your earnings associated with the Uber platform, or from a credit card or alternate form of payment that you have provided to or authorized for Uber.
  15. Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to sell or license Connected Car Data to third parties for commercial purposes. Without limitation of any provision found in the Membership Contract, you authorize Zipcar to provide Uber with your PII, information regarding each rental you undertake through the Uber Rental Program, and the Connected Vehicle Data. Such PII may include but is not limited to: name; phone number, email address, payment information; driver’s license number, state of issuance and expiration date; insurance information; accident information; vehicle license plate issuing state and number; vehicle make, model, year, mileage, color and number of doors; rental location; and rental timeframe.

  17. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event you fail to satisfy the requirements established by Zipcar and Uber to participate in the Uber Rental Program, your Zipcar membership may be terminated upon notice at Zipcar’s sole discretion and you must return the vehicle to the location from which it was rented upon demand. Your failure to return the vehicle may result in your being charged then-current market rental rates, late fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by Zipcar in retrieving the vehicle.
