“If you don’t want to pay a recurring fee, Zipcar does offer an annual membership for $70. To join Zipcar, you’ll need to pay a one time $25 application fee, along with:
  • A picture of your driver’s license
  • A picture of yourself
  • An online account
Once approved, the only additional fees you pay are when you rent a car. These fees are typically hourly or daily and vary depending on the type car you rent.
The benefits that come with a Zipcar membership are:
  • Liability coverage
    for all trips
  • Free gas
  • Maintenance and roadside assistance
  • 180 miles per day included
Before deciding to join Zipcar, you can look at the cost of membership along with the cost to rent a vehicle. By purchasing a yearly membership, you save $14 versus paying a recurring monthly fee.

coverage. While Zipcar offers insurance, you may want to add coverage to ensure you’re properly protected. You can do this through Zipcar, a personal auto policy, or a non-owners policy.
