Ratings and reviews

This is an incredibly frustrating app and service. When it works it works great, but the failures are terrible. I recently booked a Zipcar, but was unable to unlock it with the app, card, or via customer service. Yet, they still charged me for the 30 minutes i spent trying to unlock the vehicle. I really struggle to recommend Zipcar anymore due to their unresponsive and unhelpful service.

Car was not there while the app showed it as available. 2 times in a row, I reserved a car and the app showed it as parked where it said it was, but after walking over and looking around, the car was nowhere to be seen. Imagine paying a monthly fee + reservation fees for cars that are never available, and you have to walk all the way to the location to find out that it's unavailable.

Zipcar frequently changes the rental location adding lots of delay to trips. for me it is 60% of the time. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to do anything but suffer through the changes that zipcar imposes. A new level of lows. When a prior member doesn't return the car to the location, Zipcar makes you figure it out! They don't even notify you that the car is nowhere near you
