Reserve, deliver, earn, return

Visit Uber's Vehicle Marketplace and select Zipcar as your vehicle option. Zipcars can be reserved by the hour. Uber Eats drivers who haven't rented with Zipcar before are eligible for special rental rates. Gas, 24/7 roadside assistance, and up to 180 miles per day are included. Zipcars in Uber's Vehicle Marketplace in the Uber app are ready to be driven on the Uber Eats platform.

Uber Eats is available to drivers in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Here's how it works:

  1. Visit Uber's Vehicle Marketplace and select Zipcar as the hourly option.

  2. Reserve your Zipcar with your mobile device using the free iPhone® or Android™ app.

  3. Arrive at your reserved Zipcar and use the unlock feature on the Zipcar app to get into the car.

  4. Your Zipcar will automatically become available to select in the Uber Driver app before you go online.

  5. When your Zipcar reservation ends, return your Zipcar to its home location.

No long-term contracts, no upfront costs to rent, and cars are available from locations all over the city.

Deliver when you want to make money with Uber Eats, and pay Zipcar when you want to rent.

FAQs

How do I get started?

Visit Uber's Vehicle Marketplace in the Uber app and select Zipcar as the hourly option. From there, you can apply to be a Zipcar member or pair your existing Zipcar account. Once approved, you can book a Zipcar and begin accepting Uber trips.

How do I book a Zipcar?

Once you're approved as a Zipcar Member as part of the Zipcar for Drivers with Uber Program, you can reserve any eligible Zipcar whenever you'd like to drive. You'll log in to your Zipcar account, select an eligible car, and access the Zipcar using the Zipcar app.

How much does it cost?

There are no upfront fees to rent a Zipcar. When driving on the Uber app, Zipcars can be reserved by the hour. Rates start at $5.50 per hour during the week (Mon-Fri) and $7 per hour on the weekends (Sat-Sun). Zipcar Members are also responsible for paying a mileage fee of $0.45 per mile after the first 180 miles. Any tolls, parking costs (when parking at locations outside of the Zipcar home space), tickets, or fines are the responsibility of the Zipcar Member.

Note: Prices are subject to change. For current pricing information, please use the Zipcar mobile app to receive a trip estimate.

Can I use a Zipcar to drive with other Uber products?

The rental rates are currently only available if you drive with Uber Eats and not with any other Uber products such as Uber and Uber Health. If you aren't driving with Uber Eats, you won't be eligible to participate in this Zipcar program.

What's included?

Zipcar provides access to a variety of vehicles that you can use to drive with Uber Eats. Zipcar performs regular vehicle maintenance and provides a parking space for each car. Zipcar reservations are made by the hour and include gas and insurance as specified below.

When using a Zipcar to deliver with Uber (meaning the Uber app is on or you're active on an Uber trip), Uber maintains commercial auto insurance on your behalf (see details). At all other times when driving a Zipcar's insurance will apply.

Each Zipcar comes with Uber trade dress (for the front and back), which can be found in the glove compartment of the vehicle. Zipcar's policy is that drivers are responsible for returning these decals to the glove compartment of the vehicle at the end of every reservation. If your Zipcar does not contain Uber trade dress, call Zipcar Member services at 866-4ZIPCAR. Report any missing items to Zipcar at the start of your reservation.

Where can I drive?

The Zipcar program is available for people who deliver with Uber Eats in select cities. Eligible Zipcars can be found using the Zipcar mobile app; however, not every Zipcar is eligible to drive on the Uber app. Once you sign up to deliver with Uber Eats, the Zipcar app will show only those vehicles that are eligible to be driven on the Uber platform.

Can I use my existing Zipcar membership?

Yes. Current, former, and new Zipcar members are all eligible to sign up for this program.

How do I book a Zipcar?

When reserving, you'll be able to choose your car, the hours you want to rent, and the pickup location. Zipcar has 2 easy ways for you to reserve: using your mobile device with the free iPhone or Android app, or online through the Zipcar website. Just be sure to always have your phone so you can access your Zipcar and manage your reservation.

How do I start my Zipcar reservation?

Once you reserve, you'll receive a confirmation email with directions for finding your Zipcar. You can also find these same details on your Zipcar mobile app.

When you arrive at the vehicle, use the unlock feature on the Zipcar app to get into the car. The key is already inside the Zipcar and should always remain there. (Lock and unlock the car as needed with the Zipcar app.)

Zipcar provides Uber trade dress in the glove compartment of each pre-approved Zipcar vehicle. At the end of your reservation, return these items to the Zipcar glove compartment. Failure to return the items may result in a charge from Zipcar.

How do I link my booked Zipcar to my Uber account?

Once you unlock the car with the Zipcar app or your Zipcard, the car will then be automatically linked to you through the Uber Driver app.

How does insurance work?

If you participate in the Zipcar Program, the insurance maintained by Zipcar while you drive differs from if you were to drive a Zipcar as a consumer member outside of the Uber Program. If you are already covered by other vehicle insurance, you agree that that vehicle insurance will be the primary insurance, with any insurance listed below to be secondary. If you are not otherwise covered by vehicle insurance, then the following insurance will apply in the periods indicated. To obtain coverage in the event of a claim, you have a duty to fully cooperate and you must be in compliance with all other Uber and Zipcar terms and conditions.
