What We Say:
An award-winning car sharing network that operates in cities throughout the U.S., Canada and in London. The site is easy to navigate while displaying expert graphic design, getting familiar with it takes very little time. Rates depend on whether you choose an annual fee/hourly rate or monthly commitment, are a business, individual or university and vary by location. Members receive a Zipcard which unlocks any Zipcar vehicle in the fleet. Clean driving records are required for membership approval.

Philosophy
Mission: "to enable simple and responsible urban living."
Eco-Attributes
Zipcar's car sharing program essentially results in green benefits- less cars on the road and less dependence on personally owned vehicles.
Deals and Discounts
Incentives and Rebates
The "Low-Car Diet" promotion challenges participants to not drive their cars or a month in exchange for waiving the annual and membership application fees.
Pros
Innovative "Zipcard" technology allows members access to thousands of vehicles in over 50-plus and over 100 universities. Membership programs designed for individuals, businesses and schools.
Cons
Membership with hefty fees is required to use Zipcar's service. Carbon-emitting vehicles comprise most of Zipcar's fleet, though hybrids are available. Locations often have a very limited selection of vehicles from which to choose.
