who exactly is the car-sharing type?

Members use Zipcar as an alternative to the costs and hassles of owning or renting a car. But is Zipcar for you? See if you can relate to one of these situations.

I want to save money.

 

Zipsters save an average of $500/month vs. car owners. Just imagine never paying for gas again.

I take public transit, but need a car sometimes.

 

You love your bus pass but not for grocery shopping, longer trips or spontaneous adventures.

Once in a while, I need a second car.

 

Does your hubby, wife or roommate have the car today? We’ve got you covered.

I need a big car for a big job.

 

Reserving a Zipvan or SUV beats the heck out of renting a moving truck or asking your brother-in-law.

I want to jumpstart my business.

 

Join Zipcar for Business. Use our swanky, non-branded Zipcars and handy Zipvans for meetings, deliveries or supply runs.

I want wheels when I travel.

 

You can reserve Zipcars in other cities. Your Zipcard unlocks cars in major cities and airports around the world.

I want to be kind to the planet.

 

Reduce your dependence on a personal car. If everybody does it, everybody wins.

this idea is bigger than all of us

Imagine a world with one million fewer cars on the road. We do.

Fewer cars. Way Fewer.

Each and every Zipcar takes 15 personally-owned vehicles off the road. Multiply that by the thousands of cars in our fleet and you've got a really big number.

The sharing movement.

10% of the population is expected to adopt car sharing as their primary mode of transportation. Why buy the car if you can get the gas for free?

Driving smarter.

After joining Zipcar, 90% of our members drove 8,800 kilometers or less per year. That adds up to more than 121 million liters of crude oil left in the ground—or 829 liters saved per Zipster.

More green space.

What would the world look like if everybody shared cars instead of owned them? Save paradise and tear down that parking lot.
