If you're age 18+, and have had no Zipcar accidents in the past 12 months, you are eligible to purchase damage protection to reduce or eliminate the damage fee. Purchasing damage protection won't change your insurance coverage—it just changes the maximum amount you'll be charged if you're involved in an incident with your Zipcar.
Our damage protection plans include:
- Standard protection (included in membership)
$1,000 fee per incident may apply
- Plus protection
$375 fee per incident may apply
$5/month or $50/year - Premium protection
Pay $0 per incident, no damage fees
$9/month or $79/year or per trip: $0.95/hour or $5.95/day
