the whole company is based on false advertisement. they charge for a discounted college student membership but company failed to say that you will ONLY get the "cheap" rates IF you book your zipcar near your listed college. if you book near your home or anywhere your membership rate DOES NOT APPLY.Also rates depends on day, time and holidays, so even if you have a membership you will not get the low rates of your membership because of these factors. so what is the point of paying for a membership?I called customer service to... read more

Its a clusterf*ck. They constantly change the booking, and its always the day off or the day before, and almost never at the same location I booked.The customer service is the worst of probably any company Ive ever encountered and they do not care about customers. I was given a car with a spare tire on it, I had to avoid highways and drive slowly, and they didnt reimburse me for the extra miles or even care that theyd put my and others safety at risk. The convenience is extremely outweighed by everything thats bad.Its wild t... read more

The company continues to go down and down in terms of customer service and policy. When the company first started they had a very friendly customer service with the goal of always taking care of their customers. I spend over $3,000 a year in zipcar and I'm on the phone with their customer service for almost every trip with a problem that they never solve anymore. For example, they charge a $50 late fee if you bring your back after your reserved time. This is understandable during busy times like from 8am-6pm. But one time I ... read more

Do not work with this company. They stole $70 from me for an after I had zero business relationship with them for over 3+ years despite countless hours on the phone, including where their own representative admitted they had a data issue which caused them to charge a number of credit cards inadvertently. When I disputed the charge, they funny enough accused me of fraud. What is more upsetting is that they try to hide their unethical business practices behind a mask of "we are a nice *************** company" and "we believe i... read more

They are a horrible company. They allowing people to pay for vehicle but not doing service or maintenance. i rented a vehicle and the brakes was completely gone, grinding metal to metal. i reported it to them they simply allowed the car to be rented to the next person. they dont inform you if the car is there or not! they take so long to reimburse your funds and on top of everything when you constantly make reports they will discontinue your membership! Do not rely on these vehicles if there is something important! ohhhh and... read more

ZERO stars. The absolute worst experience with a rental agency. Ever. DON'T EVEN BOTHER I had to cancel my account within the first month because of some technical glitch on my account not allowing me to book that no one could solve. Long story short- I tried to book my first car and kept getting an error message asking me to update my payment information. I went through 7 cards, business and personal, debit and credit and NONE worked. I had plenty of funds. I called my bank and they informed me they couldn't even see the tr... read more

They falsely advertise that most applications are approved within minutes and you only pay a monthly fee. Turns out that they only tell you they charge an additional application and other fees after you are done with the application and most applications were taking FOUR days to complete. If you need a car quickly, dont rely on their fraudulent advertising. I called ten minutes after applying and finding this out and they refused to refund the charges even though they hadnt done anything with my application. They later tried... read more

It is very hard to ************ in my city. Even though it said, the membership can be refundable in 30 days. But, if you use it once, it is not refundable even in 30 days. This is not written in any terms. The issue is that if I do not use it, how do I know if it is good or not? So, literally, the refunding policy is cheating. So, if you live in a city with a small number of zip cars, I do not recommend you use it. It is a total waste of your money.

Zipcar rents their vehicles with expired registration. Some of the vehicles don't even have proof of insurance. a few hours into my first time renting a Zipcar I was driving and realized when looking into using the Zipcar for Uber over a weekend and realized that the registration was 3 months past. 2 weeks later I had rented another Zipcar discovered that the vehicle's registration was 8months expired. They offered me a half an hour extension. If I would have had gotten pulled over for the company's negligence my privilege t... read more
