So here's my honest take on Zipcar. I've tested a bunch of car-sharing apps and this one's pretty solid. The on-demand access is super convenient, and I like how you can reserve different types of cars depending on what you need. The app is easy to use too. On the downside, the hourly/daily rates can get pricey if you rely on it a lot. And the whole process of finding and unlocking the car takes a bit more work than I expected. But overall, it's a good option if you want the flexibility of a car without the hassles of ownership.

Description

I’ve been using Zipcar for a couple months now. It’s basically a car-sharing service where you can rent vehicles by the hour or day. Pretty solid app if you’re looking for a way to get around the city without owning a car.

Here’s what you do: You sign up, they approve you, and then you can instantly unlock cars near you using the app. There’s a bunch of different cars to choose from too – compacts, SUVs, you name it. And you can book ’em 24/7, no waiting in line or anything.

Look, if you live in a city and need wheels sometimes but don’t want the hassle of owning a car, you’ll probably like Zipcar. It’s not perfect – the pricing can add up if you use it a lot – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out for sure.

I hate to say this cause as a city girl, I've enjoyed using zip cars but honestly this app is so useless, so annoying the last couple months! First I...

Just not worth it. For short trips, an Uber/Lyft is cheaper, and picks you up at your house. For longer trips (2 hours) a normal rental is cheaper. And then...

It's exactly what I need living in the center of the city! Coming from Vancouver-CA, I was already used to the service in Evo so it's not a new product...
