Can I use Zipcar for a driving test?

I’m taking my driving test soon, but I live in a big city where not many people own cars. Can I rent a Zipcar just to use for my driving exam?

Good luck on your driving test! Unfortunately, Zipcar’s membership contract outlines that the use of Zipcars for driving tests is not permitted. Breaking this rule will likely lead to your membership being discontinued.
Additionally, to have a valid Zipcar membership, you’ll already need a valid driver’s license. Whoever rents the car must be the one driving the vehicle—and this goes for every rental company. The vehicle you use must be currently registered and insured, so your best option will be to borrow one from a friend or family member who agrees to let you use it.
In most cases, the car you will borrow for your driving test will have insurance that covers short-term borrowers—even if you aren’t listed on the policy.
Once you pass your driving test, you’re going to need a solid car insurance policy. Coverage for
