“Zipcars are a great option if you need to use a car for a few hours or a day. Though reservation prices vary by location and vehicle type, you can expect to pay between $80 and $90 per day to rent a Zipcar in Houston. For an hourly rate, you can expect to pay $10–$12.

That said, if you aren’t already a member, you’ll need to sign up. Memberships are either $7 a month or $70 for a year. You’ll also have to pay a one-time membership application fee of $25.

Your membership does include Zipcar’s basic liability coverage and their damage fee waiver. If you’d like additional coverage, extra fees are attached to either your monthly membership or the vehicle rental.

Should you plan on using a Zipcar more frequently, you may want to consider getting non-owners car insurance. Non-owners insurance extends coverage to any vehicle you drive, including ones you borrow or rent.

You can call insurance companies about coverage or go to Jerry. Jerry is the easiest and most effective way to find a car insurance policy that is customized for you.”
