4 reasons your student needs Zipcar at college
The school year’s almost here. Chances are you have lots of questions as your student gets ready for college. Like, “Can we really fit everything into the car for move-in day” and “When is Parent’s Weekend, again?”
You might also be wondering how your student will get around off-campus. Does it make sense to bring a car to college? Should you buy one? What about rentals?
For the ins and outs of college life, car sharing is the best choice. Zipcar gives your student convenient, affordable access to vehicles, 24/7.
Here are a few ways Zipcar can help your student navigate around town.
It’s easy
Students with a valid driver’s license can apply online—most are approved instantly. Then, your student can book cars by the hour or day.
Plus, Zipcar offers discounted student memberships.

It’s affordable
After tuition and books, do you really want to shell out more money for a car?
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, your student won’t have to deal with long-term costs like surprise repairs and shopping for insurance. We offer insurance options with every trip.
It’s flexible
College schedules can get a little crazy. From early-morning classes to late-night study sessions, students are always on the go.
That’s why Zipcar is totally flexible- vehicles can be booked by the hour or by the day. And with 24/7 availability, Zipcar is always there when your student needs it.
It’s how they roll
College is the first time many students get to spread their wings and live life on their own. As a parent, that transition can be tough.
Zipcar is here for both of you—making it hassle-free to run errands, try new restaurants, visit museums, and take day trips.
Oh, and 26% of our university members use Zipcar to visit family and friends.
So, you might not have to wait until Parent’s Weekend, after all.
