Zipcar pricing (2026)
Zipcar starts at Member-paid: ~$7.50–11/hr, ~$69–110/day. The full breakdown is below, including what sits behind higher tiers.
What Zipcar charges
Zipcar prices its members directly and the terms vary by institution. On university programmes, membership commonly runs from about $15 to $35 for the first year with roughly $25 annually thereafter, and driving rates commonly start around $7.50–11.00 per hour and $69–110 per day depending on campus, vehicle, and weekday versus weekend. Gas, insurance, reserved parking, roadside assistance, and up to 180 miles per day are included in those rates. The host institution does not set these prices and does not receive the rental revenue — it provides parking spaces in exchange for the amenity.

What does Zipcar charge extra for?
Zipcar prices its members directly and the terms vary by institution.

The pattern worth checking on any platform is which capabilities sit behind a higher tier rather than in the base price — that is usually where the quoted number and the real number diverge.
How does Levy Fleets pricing compare?
Levy publishes three routes. Managed is 20% of GMV (15% at 100-249 vehicles, annual terms) against a $250/mo minimum, and includes includes rider support, payment ops, disputes, refunds, and collections. Self-Managed is 15% of GMV. Software-only is $14 per vehicle/mo (100-249 vehicles) for operators running their own field operations. Same full feature set on every plan — no tiered feature gates
Is revenue share cheaper than a monthly subscription?
It depends entirely on how much you ride. A fixed subscription is owed in your slowest month; revenue share falls with revenue and bottoms out at the $250/mo minimum. For a seasonal fleet — resort, campus, tourism — that difference usually dominates the annual total. For a high-utilization year-round fleet, a flat fee can work out cheaper. Run both against your own off-season, not just your peak.
What should I ask about beyond the headline rate?
Setup and white-label fees, per-verification charges for ID and phone checks, payment processing markup, whether webhooks and API access are gated to a higher tier, minimum contract length, and what happens to your data if you leave. On Levy: no setup fee, white-label free under Levy Label (otherwise $2,750 one-time), and every feature on every plan.
