Zipcar DC
A bit about Zipcar DC
Zipcar is a car sharing service that makes it easy to live without a car in the city. Zipcar members can reserve one of hundreds of cars located throughout DC – you can for a couple hours or the entire day. To use your car, just walk up to the car, hold your Zipcard to the windshield and the doors will unlock, and it’s all yours! Have you driven in a Prius yet? If not, join Zipcar and take one out for a spin! Learn more at www.zipcar.com.

How Zipcar DC is Green
Less cars on the road means less congestion, less pollution, less dependence on oil, and cleaner, fresher air to breathe. Each and every Zipcar takes 15-20 personally-owned vehicles off the road (i.e. people either sell their current car or forgo buying one). And fuel-efficient options like hybrids are great for the planet. Also, Zipcar members save more than $500 per month (vs. car ownership) and many Zipsters put it back into their communities buying local and sustainable products.
Why we think Zipcar DC is great
Zipcar is wildly convenient. Chances are, there’s one around the corner from where you work or play. Reserve and pick up your car 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Rent by the hour or by the day. Also, Zipcar remains connected and active in the community by helping with events and projects such as local hunger programs.
