What's New in Zipcar

10.4.1

September 28, 2026

No new bells and whistles, but we made it way easier to end your trip in the app. Because the only thing that should be hard about car-sharing is saying goodbye to the car, not the trip!

Find Other Options

As a former Zipcar user I beg you to find other vehicle options. Was charged $167 for a smoking fee when I do not smoke (I’m a 45 y/o asthmatic). Zipcar said their sensors detected it and I have no ability to appeal. Customer support has no human touch, everything feels automated and robotic. There are other quick vehicle options out there, let this one be your absolute last resort.

Car needed maintenance

I booked the Zip Car for a weekend away. I noticed within a few minutes the oil maintenance light flashing.. the sign on the dashboard said it needed an oil change 350 miles ago. I called Zip Car, and they told me to return the car to its location and that they will give me a partial refund. Partial refund!!!??? my weekend is ruined.

app sucks but service is okay

app sucks but you can rent a car. app does not properly keep track of whether youre logged in or not. app makes it very painful to search for a particular car.

horrible customer service

terrible customer service barely speaks english and has no answers for anything.

No customer service or care

The car can be parked anywhere within a mile of where they tell you it will be but will not tell you where until you call and wait 15+ mins for customer service. The cars keep getting dirtier and more beat. Customer service offers only to extend your reservation by 30 mins for issues such as broken trunk doors, urine soaked seats, or similar. Zipcar was a bit of failed venture capitalism and private equity. Customers shouldn’t have to suffer through its bankruptcy.
