Ratings and reviews

They canceled my trip one hour and 30 minutes before my reservation. I asked for reimbursement and got an offer for around $1.30. Asked support to just refund and cancel my subscription. Previous experiences include 1) ZipCar moving my reservation to a different location as I'm staring right at the car I reserved 2) car not locking or unlocking due to bad signal, which will happen often if somewhat underground Overall, terrible service, sub-par cars, often smells of cigarettes.

I was charged $25 by Zip simply for entering my debit card info, without clicking 'activate membership' or checking the confirmation box. There was no clear warning that entering card details would result in an immediate charge. Customer service refused to refund me, calling it non-refundable. This is unfair and misleading, as I never even confirmed the membership. Extremely upset and disappointed by this practice!

Fulctionally ok except that even though I have already purchased an annual package for full insurance coverage, it keeps asking me whether I want coverage every time I book a car. An annoyance. Also, there doesn't appear to be a way to sort available cars by price vs. distance. Also occasionally it does not work in unlocking the car. Also it does not tell me how old (mileage) the car is.
