About ZIPCAR

It's been close to two decades since founders, Robin Chase and Antje Danielson, sat in a café in Cambridge, Massachusetts and decided to bring the European car-sharing idea to North America. Once the wheels were in motion, it was only a matter of time before some major changes helped grow our little car-sharing company into the world's leading car-sharing network. Today, thanks to a member-driven user experience, a focus on innovative technology, and an amazing team of hands-on car-sharing enthusiasts, we are redefining the way the world thinks about alternative transport.

Car sharing seems like a simple enough idea, but there's a reason Zipcar has become the leader of cars on demand. It's not just about fewer cars and reducing congestion and pollution; it's about finding sustainable solutions. This idea is bigger than all of us, and we’re committed to our mission: to enable simple and responsible urban living.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to enable simple and responsible urban living—a future filled with more car-sharing members than car owners in major cities across the globe. We do this every day by:

• Delivering on-demand vehicles that support environmental sustainability.

• Helping members save time, hassle and money in their everyday transport.

• Embracing electric cars: with 325 in our fleet, and a vision to be fully electric by 2025.

• Freeing up city space through strategies that consider urban, residential, commercial and city planning needs.

• Becoming a premier employer for talented, passionate people who thrive on changing the world for good.

• Living our core values, as a company and as individual team members, from the Big Apple to Big Ben.
