Zipcar

Zipcars are in Ann Arbor!  Read on for details.

“So… what is Zipcar and why should I care?”

Zipcar is changing urban transportation and car ownership as we know it. It’s “wheels when you want them”, literally. Self service cars you can use by the hour or day. With Zipcars parked in downtown Ann Arbor (and on University of Michigan’s campus) all you’ll have to do is decide where you want to go and when.

Zipcar’s cutting edge technology allows you to reserve online, or on your mobile device, 24/7. Low hourly and daily rates include gas, insurance, and 180 miles per day.

Just Join – Reserve – and Drive. It’s that simple.

How Many Zipcars Are Downtown and Where Are They Located?

The Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority has provided the getDowntown Program with a grant for 4 Zipcars downtown, two Scion xD's and two Toyota Martix's.  Zipcar is purchasing these cars from local dealerships.  Two Zipcars will be located at the Fourth and Catherine Parking Lot (across from the Farmer's Market) and two will be located at the Palio Parking Lot (at Main and William right next to Palio Restaurant).

In addition to the 4 downtown Zipcars, individuals will be able to use all of the Zipcars on the University of Michigan Campus.
