Zipcar Promo Codes in October 2026
The best selection of Zipcar coupons, picked by our editors


Zipcar pitches a simple idea. You can get a car on demand with gas, secondary insurance, and 200 daily miles already baked into the hourly price. Should you run into issues on the road, skip the web search. Just tap "Account" then "Call Zipcar" in the mobile app, or dial their US customer service directly at 866-494-7227.
Experience the convenience of on-demand transportation with your initial thirty days completely free when registering for a new car sharing membership plan. Hourly driving rates and standard application fees still apply, and all changes are up to Zipcar's discretion regarding background check approvals or regional vehicle availability. This introductory subscription waiver cannot be combined with university student discounts or corporate account promotions. The offer is valid strictly for new applicants meeting all standard driving requirements within supported urban locations. We checked in October 2026 and confirmed that a free month of service was still available.
Zipcar members with a membership plan save 50% when adding one extra authorized driver, applied to qualifying membership add ons. The savings cannot be combined with other promotions or applied to taxes or fees.
Receive $25 off through the friend referral program once requirements are met. May be limited to new members or eligible plans and credits. Account creation and referral tracking required. Availability varies by US location.
Save 50% on 2 Extra Drivers when you subscribe to the Plus Membership Plan. The discount applies to eligible Plus members only, and additional driver eligibility and membership requirements may apply. Membership terms, pricing, and all promotional details are at Zipcar's discretion and may change or end without notice.
Get an Annual Car Rental Membership Plan for $90 and access membership features designed to enhance your rental experience throughout the year. The annual fee applies to eligible customers who complete the registration process through the website.
Add up to two extra drivers to your account and receive 50% off the applicable fee with a Plus Membership plan. The discount is available to eligible members enrolled in the qualifying plan and is subject to the program's terms. Membership requirements apply. This promotion may change or end without notice, and all changes are at Zipcar's discretion.
Zipcar Rewards works quietly in the background, earning you credit toward future trips just for driving the way you already do. That is what makes it worth paying attention to, there is nothing to buy and no extra step to chase. Eligible members are enrolled automatically, so the real question is not how to join but how to make the rewards actually add up. Every dollar you spend on driving rates and mileage builds toward $5 rewards you can apply at checkout later.
Be realistic about the pace, though. The earn rate is modest, so this is not a reason to drive more or book longer than you need. This is perfect for people who take frequent short trips or have weekly appointments. Students come out ahead here too, since they hit the reward threshold faster than standard members. For someone who books only once or twice a year, the rewards will trickle in too slowly.
Zipcar has two different types of discounts: Booking Promotions (applied to a specific trip) and Driving Credit (a dollar amount added to your account balance). Here are the exact steps to redeem both this year:
Applying a promo code at checkout (app & desktop)
Log in to the Zipcar app or website and choose your vehicle.
On the booking checkout screen, select "Add promo code."
Input your code or select from the available promotions in your inventory to apply the discount to your trip.
Redeeming driving credit to your wallet
If you received a referral bonus or customer service credit, you must add it to your wallet first:
On the mobile app: Tap "Account" in the bottom menu > select "Wallet" > tap "Driving credit" > tap the "+" icon in the top right to enter and redeem your code.
On desktop: Click "Account settings" in the top right > select "Wallet" > click "Add credit" > enter your code and click "Redeem."
Zipcar does not allow coupon stacking. You can typically only use one promo code per reservation. If a code never works after you have checked the basics, stop trying to force it. Confirm the code is still valid and typed exactly as shown, then make sure it matches your trip and account. If it still fails, contact Zipcar member support through the app or website, since they can confirm if the code is tied to your account or already used.
You can write a review for your approved transactions.
