Zipcar is a U.S.-based car-sharing brand that offers members on-demand vehicle access for short trips, typically billed by time and supported through a mobile-first booking experience.

How it works

Users locate and reserve nearby cars via an app, unlock vehicles for the booking window, and return them to designated locations, reducing the need for private ownership.

Typical use cases

Zipcar is commonly used for errands, weekend trips, and campus mobility where occasional car access is preferred over full-time ownership.
