I have had some issues, but customer service was able to resolve. Highly recommend that you request a physical ZipCard to lock and unlock the car, so you aren't reliant on the app. That said, last trip my car was changed last notice, and then the card reader was glitchy so I was never quite sure I'd be able to get back in? But I'm writing this review so clearly I didn't die in the forest somewhere. Overall it's worth it to have access to a car that I only need 3-4 times a year at most.

Don't do it. The rates are high. They change the prices in real-time while on the app. They have promotions for just a couple of days to try to encourage you to rent more often. It's a good concept but they definitely take advantage of those are not credentialed enough to rent from a traditional rental company. They charge you a membership but you don't get any memer savings. The price that they try to charge for 1 day you could get a 3 day rental from a rental company. Definitely not worth it.

I've a Zip Car vet from way back but lost track of this resource up until recently. The membership packages are flexible. May be pricier than public transit or rideshare (but not as expensive as renting a car) but worth it just to have another option if you don't have your own car. You get a quicker response with issues from chatting than calling. I miss having physical keys/keycards. Lost my phone or had it stolen too many times not to. But otherwise, it's a well kept secret for most people.
