4 reasons you need Zipcar at college

The start of a new semester brings hope, promise—and a whole lot of questions. Questions like, “Do I really need shower shoes?” and “What was I thinking with that 8 A.M. chem class?” 

You might also be wondering how you’re going to get around town and whether you even need a car on campus. Or does it make sense to buy a car for college or even rent one when you need it? 

The clear choice for college students is car sharing. Zipcar can help with all your car quandaries with convenient, affordable access to vehicles, 24/7. 

Here’s why Zipcar can really help you go places this year. 

Zipcar makes it easy 
Have a valid driver’s license? Apply online and once approved, you can book cars by the hour or day. When you’re done with your trip, park the car in same location you picked it up. And gas is always covered. 

Plus, you’ll get a discounted student membership.

More money left over—for everything 

College is expensive. Tuition. Books. 2 A.M. pizza. So, why spend even more by bringing a car on campus?  

College student Zipcar members save about $1,000 a month compared to car owners. That’s because Zipcar covers gas, maintenance, and on-campus parking. Plus, you won’t have to deal with long-term costs like surprise repairs and shopping for insurance. We offer insurance options with every trip.  

And those savings can go right into your pocket—or toward more midnight pizza runs.  

Oh, the places you’ll go 

College is all about the freedom to do what you want, when you want.  

And Zipcar is here for all of it. In fact, most of our university members use Zipcar to run errands, take leisure trips, visit family, and explore off-campus.  

So, whether you're day-tripping to the beach or hitting up that new hot spot across town, we’ve got you covered.  

Zipcar works around your schedule 

We know your schedule can get a little crazy. Early-morning classes. Late-night study sessions. And everything in between. 

That’s why Zipcar is totally flexible. If you need a car for an hour or a few days, we’ve got your back. And cars are always there for you, ready to book and drive—24/7.
