Ratings and reviews

Very unaffordable and not upfront about the true cost of their service. Before signing up you are shown "rates from $11/hr and $91.50/day". This gave me the impression that while there might be cars at higher rates, I could find cars at the advertised rate. This was not the case as every car in my area was at least $15/hr. I suppose this doesn't matter though because they still got my application fee and payment for one month of service.

Zipcar is super convenient, accessable, affordable. The cars do need to be maintenanced more often, some of them seem to run a bit rough and the wiper fluid is always low. I use Zipcar many times for many things. Long trips, short trips, work, pleasure and for errands.. I love having a wide selection of cars to choose from. I don't like when the price goes up on holidays tho. Thanks for the gas card!!!! That definately helps.

Despite the initial negative experience (where the car wud not come on, lock or unlock using the app), the support staff were truly phenomenal. They were patient and had plenty of time to talk me through the process. The problem was solved remotely (after almost 90 minutes), I drove back to the Pick-up point and I was given a replacement car. Without being prompted, the support person extended my time at no extra cost. In all, I was quite happy with ZipCar!
